i have many days that feel like a success even though i dont bring anything home with me. if the dogs get some good work on wild birds. if the county legend walks by behind cover and shows his massive rack for a second. if a flock of mallards turn tail and dive in right on me when i call at daybreak.
i can miss shots or not even get the shot i want, but i still go home grinning and replaying it in my mind. to me its just as much about that fleeting moment we all see in still art at the outdoor stores. im after that picture. if the meat falls then great, ill whip up some secret marinade. but i feel just as successful when i miss. as long as i miss in style. (i'm obviously not talking about taking bad shots at deer. when i say miss, i mean missing the opportunity.)
do you get down when it doesnt work out? or do all hunters feel the same way i do and thats why we all keep going?
