Success is awesome and it doesn't always need to be a buck down for me to feel like I have accomplished something or advanced, it could be seeing a buck in a new set or following a hunch and at the end of the day finding what I was looking for. Success comes at the end of alot of hard work, sweat and determination. I may have gotten lucky here or there but that never compares to when I was intentional.
Success is relational to where you are, the buck I am happy to take this year will not compare to those of the veterans on this site, But like it was said earlier the more bucks that I have under my belt and the more I learn the higher I will raise my own bar. If on the other hand I went out with the intention of outhunting everyone here I would become so frustrated that I would be incapable to focus and give up. I am motivated by all of your success, and that drives me to push myself.
I think this applies to a lot of hunters.
