RE: Patience and brute determination paid off.
Good job Sask, Its not easy sometimes.
I have had stretches where I have had 15 - 20 hunts without seeing a shooter, and many of those hunts saw no deer at all.
But remember every hour you spend hunting without a successful hunt makes that next harvest soooo much better.
Every time I leave a hunt without my buck, I return with that much more determination. That is what is great about bowhunting.
