WHAT IS SUCCESS?

 

First off, let's take a moment to understand what it means to be a bow hunter. By definition, a bow hunter is someone with incredible patience and able to be still and quiet, sometimes for hours on end. Waiting and Hoping for that ultimate close encounter and the opportunity to release an arrow. Whether you're looking to put a trophy on the wall fill the freezer or simply the thrill, it doesn't matter. That's what a bow hunter is. Adrenaline is their life blood. It is OUR life blood.

Not all hunts are created equally nor are all hunts successful by the traditional definition of going by kill rate. My definition of a successful hunt looks like this: I've been well fed, had great conversation with a small group of like-minded folks, have seen deer, had encounters with deer, and had a good time in camp, then I feel I have had a successful hunt. By this standard I feel out success rate is pretty close to 100 percent! Getting an arrow in an animal is just the icing on the cake!​
