Agreed, if it was a guaranteed kill every time out I think hunting would lose much of its thrill. At least for me. The best is when it looks/ feels like all your chips are down and you are done and then you spot that buck or hear that bugle and give it hell again! Had it work out great and also watched the clock tick and the sunset on un punched tags and that’s okay. Just adds logs to the fire in the off season and usually gives me some good stories about the ones that got awayThis thread is worded differently than some of the others. But they all have the same " I did the homework, I did the work, wtf" kinda vibe to them.

LMBO!This^ I think people get way too wrapped up with how others are doing via social media, sometimes on hunting forums and remember comparison is the thief of joy. If it’s about killing. This go kill. If it’s about time spent out there then enjoy. If it’s about big racks then hunt animals that have them. I have 2 kiddos under 3 years old right now to say my hunting seasons have changed a bit in the last 3 years is a giant understatement. Went from 100+ days in the field to about 10 if im lucky… I do feel a little guilt when im away but not that much honestly. I have almost completely stopped waterfowl, upland, and predator hunting for the time being so I can big game hunt, remember it will get easier as the kids get older they can tag along some and make it a family adventure
