That cows suck and when 40 of them move into your area after opening day, you better have a different place to hunt.
Thanks, Rich

1. In my 3 years of hunting I've successfully ruined my kids for store-bought meat. 2. Getting a trigger job to reduce your weight from 6.5lbs to 3lbs gets you roughly a 1,000% improvement in your shooting. There's an equation in there somewhere, I'm sure. 3. Duck hunting is a heck of a lot more fun when the ducks know to show up.

Learned that I finally found a lease the family will enjoy and that LOs can be your best hunting buddy. I also learned I have to move a set-up and build a new blind before next season. Also learned that everyone has a different idea about how much feeding is adequate. All-in-all it was a great season on the new lease.

Pee bottles are great, but yeah if I gotta go I'll pee outside the blind or hop out and get further away pee and come back. Generally I can hold it, but I'm a youngen compared to some of y'all old dudes here.

I learned that most of the things I do with squirrel, I can also do with deer. I learned that 10 hours on low in a crock pot will literally melt the connective tissue right out of the shanks... and sriracha and ketchup will do for seasoning in a pinch I learned that "high fence" doesn't necessarily take the sport out of a hunt. I learned there are exotic hunts available bere in the U.S. under more sporting conditions than some hunts in Africa... and you can't even take the meat home from Africa... I learned that some hunts, like moose hunting for example, can cost more than I make in a year to take my family... ...while good hunting for deer can be found close to home, and cheap... ...and the gun that you have is a lot better than the one that you want...

I learned how much work it is to pack a bull elk of the mountain on your BACK!
I learned that when you hunt a lease full of bottom land, have a 2nd stand on high ground!
I learned that when i have a lease close to home, i do not make time to go hunting near like i did when i hunted Mills County!

I learned that if you hunt with a 223 or hunt a HF it is best that you keep it to yourself.

Learned how to field dress deer. Always had the luxury of having help or taking deer in locations with easy access. Not anymore. iPhones and YouTube are wonderful.
Learned how to skin, quarter and take the straps. Always took the gutted deer to processor whole. Not anymore, saved myself a fortune in processing costs. Again iPhones and YouTube are wonderful.
Learned to get myself in better shape, hauling corn and ladders in and deer out on my back sounds hard but presents more opportunities.
Nice to save a few dollars isn't it.

I learned that as much as I enjoy hunting by myself or with a friend or two, I really miss hunting with my grand kids.
