....not forgetting the wind. The wind switching last minute should be a choice.
Do you control the wind? If so, it wouldn’t switch last minute like you said. All of the choices I listed were things that we can control.

You can do everything right and the wind still betray you by switching or swirling on you and sometimes it is completely out of your control

Only thing that has kept me from success the past couple years has been unseen branches between me and the bull that have deflected arrows.

That actually is what happened to me last year...I felt like crying.

But my best teacher is failure.

inexperience - this has been the primary reason. Dumb mistakes made in the heat of it that in hindsight I would have done way differently. But getting better every year.

Soon to overtake the #1 spot is - lack of patience. That mistake has been gaining fast over inexperience and drafting close on its tail. Pretty sure this year impatience will make the pass in turn 4 for the win.

Desperation to punch my tag used to make me less successful. Reminded me of pulling like mad on a door that says Push To Open.

Time. It’s not a choice but for me is a big one. Feeling rushed never leads to good decisions for me. To aggressive, forgetting wind, rushing shots, etc. My job allows for about as much time as I could need, but I don’t because of my young family. Most of my hunts are 2 or 3 day excursions or day hunts. I think that time in the woods can make up for some mistakes. Can’t kill them from the couch.
