i started bowhunting this year. i only saw one doe(during bow season), but i couldn't have pulled off the shot if i wanted to. i also learned how to shoot better, and that i have more patience than i thought i have. i learned why a harness is important (fell from 10 feet last wednesday in the process of climbing up to 30 feet). i learned that most everyone else has better luck than i do (even during rifle season). and unfortunately i learned that too many people are willing to do the wrong thing to harvest deer.
