Like the Shop Stories we are doing, the crew has asked me to give lessons from hunts where I made mistakes and lessons from hunts where we did the correct thing. This is the first in the series and is our 2019 Nevada Archery Mule Deer hunt.
Honestly, I was dead tired before the hunt even started and I got lazy. I knew better than to do some of the things I did, but I hoped we could cut some corners and add some comforts and hopefully get luck to bail us out. Nope. Of all the people who should know better, it is me.
Hopefully folks watching this can relate to the chain of events that ensues when you make one wrong decision out of fatigue, laziness, lack of preparation, or whatever. That first key decision often leads you down a path that makes every other part of the hunt that greater of a challenge.
And yes, I know I should have used a black marker, but the crew likes to leave the caps off our erasable markers, making the black markers almost the writing usefulness of charcoal. So, you get purple diagrams.
