Everyones listed some good ideas so far, kinda humorous too. I'd add a few
-Deciding to wade across a creek with ice floating down it in order to drive out some brush on the other side cause we hadn't seen a deer all day
-Passing up shots on nice deer to give your younger sibling/friend/family member a shot.
-Saving up every year to hunt in other states, even though your own state has great opportunities, gotta chase after the new experiences.
