Of course the object is to kill deer so that plays a big role............maybe killing the deer you wanted to would be more specifically applied to "success"

An important thing to me is to feel like I became a better hunter for whatever reason and made improvements to my game that will pay off next year.

I think I did all of the above this year.........killed some nice deer......opened some new opportunities and scouted some areas that I thought would not produce in the past and feel very good about them for the future........in a nutshell, I feel like I continued to learn and evolve as a hunter.......to me that makes the year a success.


I always enjoy myself............success or not.
