For me I guess it would have been keeping my word to myself of what I was going to harvest.

I did so good initially passing on a couple of small 8pt and a couple of small 6pt. I DON'T pass on legal deer. BB excluded of course. I also passed on does I didn't really need or want. I saw things by passing that I never see when the only thing on my mind is killing. Cool scape tending by buck and doe as well as chasing that left me laughing.

I however FAILED!!! Sighting were way down and in a weak moment I shot a small 6pt. I justified it by knowing I had a second tagand three doe tags so what the heck. Thwack!I WILL be stronger next year. Maybe

Please don't misunderstand. I am not caught up in QDM I just wanted to up the ante a bit.

STILL pleased as punch over my little deer so the season was a great one. I just have to ask most of my hunting buddies how they did.
