The most important thing I learned this year is how to effectively hunt certain areas. I alternated stand locations and didn't over hunt a single area, keeping the entire property virtually unspooked and productive all year long.

I learned that the "Charmin to Go" packet contains about 4 less squares than is necessary for a first rate job afield. That and a whole lot about EHD.

When setting a stand in the dark you can get no perspective of how high you are with a flashlight.
Not being a big fan of heights I learned this is a bad idea. When the sun came up I realized how high I was and had a shooter walked by I would have watched as I didn't feel comfortable standing up, aiming and shooting.

i before e except after c. lol
Actually I took up tracking this year. I learned more this year than any year before. The things I learned this year from tracking will put a lot of antler on the ground in up coming seasons. If I was going to teach a newcomer to the sport One of the first things I would do is take them out on a track and follow it and study every little detail of that deers movement.

To have the patience to pass up 135 to 140" bucks with my bow so that they will be 160 to 180" next year. Also that having a good year doesn't mean you have to shoot an animal, I didn't shoot a deer all year long and still had the best hunting year of my life, and what i mean by that is i seen so many 130 to 140 class bucks walk under my stand and it was so fun to watch them come running into rattling

That when you work for a company that has hunting lease and allows you to shoot big deer during the middle of the week... you tend to work harder for them.
