Something to look forward to

All hunters take to the woods in hope of fulfilling their dreams. We plan every year by what we have learned in the past. Either by what we see from our trail cameras or the different signs we find. It can be where we found rubs and scrapes, crossings in fields or creeks, or the antlers that have dropped off (sheds). But we all have something to look forward to. It is what brings us back every year.
This past year for me was one where I got to see much of head gear on different bucks. Including a nice 7 pointer with a split brow tine. I had started with the hope of seeing a heavy beamed buck that my father in law had found the shed from the year before. It matched a picture of a different 7 pointer I got on my trail cam. I have yet to see any of my bucks that I caught on camera . Next year I will be entering the woods with the hope of these bucks, plus one from a shed my father in law found just after deer season ended. This one also has a split brow tine, but on the opposite side from the 7 pointer. It has 6 points on just this antler. Maybe it will be just as big on the other side. Even if it don't I will be entering the woods with something to look forward to next season.

Lessons Learned

Well my hunting season has come and gone. I only filled one tag this year. Some people here in Alabama might say I didn't have a good season. But in my thinking I had a great season. I had many blunders and just plain blowing it moments, but I enjoyed my year of hunting. As far as the mishaps they were great lessons learned. I will walk away with a great deal of wisdom for future. I also have many plans in the works to help me not repeat them. Besides as other hunters have used in the past. The bucks I missed will be bigger next season.
Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God,who gives to all generously and without criticizing,and it will be given to him. James 1:5
My wisdom came without me asking so I can vouch for God giving wisdom generously. You can look at all experiences as a chance to gain wisdom or gripe about your what happens to you. Me, I have done it both ways and for me gaining wisdom is more fun.
