With the end of the year comming quickly, How did you grow as a hunter/bow hunter?

I have to give props to Rob for helping me with my "Killing small deer" problem. He helped me to realize the difference and saved a Button Buck's life this year. I accully PMed him 30 seconds after it happened thats how excited I was about it.

I also grew through the way that I no longer look at poaching as the norm. Thanks to everyone on here for that one.

I also now use Technology to aide me in my hunting endevors, things like topo maps, trail cams, anything I can use to help me I do use.

I also realized that its not so much about the kill. Ive hunted a TON this season, the most ever accully, and I diddnt have to kill something to have a blast and most of the time I was more excited for my friends when they killed deer.

So, How have you grown as a Hunter?
