Crappy First Hunting Season. Was it worth it?

Hey C.k,

Don't lose the faith man!
They are out there!

I took this picture wandering around on some private property in 3-16 last year (aw heck, it was the year before, maybe). Anyways, sometimes you tag out, sometimes you just gotta enjoy the trip out.

FWIW, that was taken without the benefit of any zoom. Sometimes they can be sooooo stupid!

Cheers
Trev

When I decided to hunt, I never had ANY mentor, and didn't even have the intraweb..I was in my 20's.

Other than a deer I killed with a bow when I was 14 or 15 (on my own) it took me 2 years to finally shoot a deer, since I had no clue on how to hunt. I managed to kill lots of bears and grouse, though.

When I finally put some pieces of information together and found a deer, it was a really a life changing experience. Also taught me somehting else- Nothing good ever comes easy.

So you have 2 choices. Sulk and quit hunting, or get out NOW and for the next coupel of weeks and study deer behaviour, so you have better knowledge for next year.
