What does a successful deer season actually look like?
For most deer hunters, the obvious answer is killing a big buck. But if that's the only way we measure success, we can do almost everything right for an entire season and still walk away feeling like we failed.
In this episode of Before the Echo, I’m sitting down to talk about my goals for this deer season—and why I think setting the RIGHT goals can completely change the way we hunt.
We’re talking about:
• My personal goals for this deer season
• Outcome goals vs. goals you can actually control
• Becoming a better deer hunter instead of simply hunting more
• Why we shouldn't let social media change our standards
• Hunting new areas and getting outside our comfort zones
• Balancing deer hunting with family and the things that matter most
• Why killing a buck doesn't have to determine whether your season was successful
Obviously, I want to kill a mature buck. We all want to punch a tag. But I don't want one dead deer to determine whether hundreds of hours spent scouting, hunting, learning, and making memories were worth it.
So here's my question for you:
**What is YOUR #1 goal for this deer season—and it can't just be “kill a big buck”?**
Drop it in the comments. I want to hear it.
