Dubbya....I kinda get what your saying, but I don't see how one can blame yourself if on day #4 of your hunt no deer decide to show up, when days 1-3 you seen deer? Nobody can control deer movement. So, according to your statement, well then I should have moved...ok, let's say I did move becauseI just "knew" that the deer would change there pattern on day#4 and I pick a spot where I have hunted in the past and have had success, but again, no deer...how is someone supposed to "blame" themselves for that?
It's all by chance...50/50 either your going to see deer or not and another 50/50if those deer will bein bow range.
You guys are putting to much pressure on yourselves.
I get you too, it's not about pressure at all. My answer to your above scenario is this: On days 1-3, you didn't connect, (let's assume there is a deer worth shooting on that property) that deer was somewhere in that 3 day span but you weren't in the right place. I'm not saying that I'm always in the right place or neither is anyone else or we'd all tag out on opening day. What I am saying is that it's up to you to find where that deer is at when he isn't where you were on days 1-3...
