Any time I get to hunt makes it a good year for me. I set no goals for myself other than just to go out an enjoy the outdoors. IfI kill a deer or two along the way it's fine but I don't use that as a guide to whether I've have a good year or not. Last year I killed a lot of deer, the year before that, not so many, this year...only time will tell. either way it will be a good year.
