1. patience is worth it's weight in gold.
2.I only get out of it what I put in to it. you can't be lucky all the time.
3.I try to be moble the deer will not always come to where I want them to just because I think the spot or tree I picked should produce a sure kill.
4.scouting is more important then the set up itself. I now own 4 trail camera's.
5.a fair weather hunter will get to be out and enjoy a nice day in the woods.a dedicated hunter will not only enjoy being out no matter what the weather is but. also bring home the bacon.
6.l try not to hide my mistakes but, learn from them.
7.I set everything out the day before I decide to hunt as if my mother was making sure I had everthing I needed before going to school.I am old now and the mind has a hard time keeping up.
8. I now set goals or limits but I am satisfied if I don't reach them everytime. I guess being older comes in to play on that one.
