Progress | Having, Understanding, and Replicating Success

For us, the lakes and ponds have frozen over, the birds have made it to their winter destinations and waterfowl seasons have been over for a few weeks now. It has been a season to remember, as is every season spent with friends in the field. We did our fair share of killin’ and more than our fair share of going empty handed. We battled constantly changing weather patterns for most of the seasons and found ourselves guessing at times what we could expect come time to head to the blind. The one thing I always want to come away from a season with is new knowledge. If I haven’t learned anything, nothing else matters; not the ducks we killed, not the hours we spent on stand, and not the number of times we pulled in the spread and called it another day. If nothing else…learn something!
I have never and will never claim to be the best waterfowl hunter, or anywhere close for that matter, but that is not why I do it. My goal has shifted from killing as many birds as I could in a season to learning something every time I go out to make me a better hunter and a better guide for others. I feel I have accomplished my goal for the 2014-15 season. I took time to really slow down and learn what the birds were doing.
