There's nothing saying you can't have fun even if you didn't get anything............but we are all out there for a reason and if it doesn't happen then yes we have failed in our task to some degree. That can differ from person to person. Some might pass 100 deer hoping for 1 and eat a tag if they don't see it.......and others might hunt like crazy an not even get a shot opportunity. Both guys "failed" in their goal but hopefully they had a great time along the way and learned something for next year.

We are out to kill deer..........if you don't then you came up short of your goal. Not the end of the world and will happen to everyone more then once.

I can't remember the last time I didn't kill a deer................If my brothers and dad whacked a few already I'm not sure I would care at all........If the freezer was empty I would freak out!!!
