Tough Season. Forget what you know, remember whats important

[Dust.Nich77]

My 2016 deer season has been tough in Michigan. Lots of close calls and tough conditions turned my season into a grind by the time firearm got going. It didn't stop there either. I now I'm a tough hunter, but I was letting circumstances get the best of me and I lost track of what I should have been focusing on. I really found I needed to forget what I thought I knew and remember what was really important to get myself out of the funk. I had a moment with my dad a week ago that pulled me out of that funk and wanted to share it here. Hopefully it will help pick someone else up if they find themselves in the midst of a trying year. check it out in my blog in the link below

Thank you for sharing this. Could be applied to just about anything in life. Great perspective often comes from our old men. Hope to share something similar with my son over time.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for reading. It seemed like something so obvious, but I definitely needed that reminder from him. After everything he has taught me, I also realize there is a lot more to be learned.

Great blog and well written. Ive had a frustrating season, but in reflection i have much to be happy about. My sightings on the property have gone up. The food plot was a success. All those mornings in the woods i wouldn't give back for anything.
I will hunt in the morning with little hope of seeing a deer i want to shoot. But i will hunt, cause you never know. And that's the thing about whitetails that keeps us going.

Well said! we are bound to have to and down seasons as deer hunters. I thinks it's also what keeps us coming back for more! Thanks for reading!
