I've made all of thoese mistakes, 1,2,4,5 and 8 stand out to me.
#4 is one of the reasons I don't pack bino's, I'm looking a bird's, watching plains fly over, looking at the toe of my boot, next thing I know theres a doe blowing at me.[:-]
I could add many, many more mistakes I have made. The key is not to repeat them.
1. Deerhunting for a mature buck before and after the rut. They don'tmove like the rest of the herd.
2. Walking my huntinggrounds in season. Any new rubs,have thoese scrapes opened up on the flat yet, ect.ect.......
3. Not changing my locationas the food source changes.
4. Not knowing the food source and when they change throught out the season.
This list could go on and on for me, I look back and feel like a dumbass......I'm stilla dumbass,

Just not as often.
