[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5425020, member: 17"] My first goal is to try and enjoy myself a bit more. Our hunting is definitely a "family affair" with family coming in from all over the country to hunt the first week of MZ. As sort of the "hunt master" - I place all of the stands, do the food plot work, manage the habitat, and try to help other hunters pick the right stands and be successful - I put a lot of pressure on myself to make sure everyone is having a good hunt. Yet the family have told me the real point is just to be together and enjoy the experience. So my first goal is to take that to heart, and just enjoy the company. My second goal will only occur if I don't connect early in the season. Because we have an early and intense rut, after Thanksgiving week our older buck sightings decline dramatically. I tend to get down and lose the drive to hunt after that. But what I've learned from all my recent trail-camera research is that just because the [U]peak[/U] of the rut is over, doesn't mean the rut is over. Almost every year I'll get estrus chases on camera in daylight into mid-December. They aren't anywhere near as frequent as during the peak of the rut in mid-November, but they still happen. So I'll have to remind myself not to give up and keep at it. [/QUOTE]
