LOTS of "accomplished" hunters in our ranks. How these guys go about their task is MORE important to me than what they are judged by (by many). Several mentioned have my UTMOST respect....due to how they apply their knowledge.

This year will end up being my defining year as a bowhunter.....whether I take a buck or not. I now know how I want to hunt them for the rest of my life. Gaining tidbits of knowledge from several of the guys on this forum have shaped my new approach. I'll never again be a passive deer hunter.....if I have a choice (based on grounds).

So whether I score or not....is irrelevant (in that regard). The table's been set.
