#260 - What Are You Actually Trying to Accomplish This Deer Season?

<p>What does a successful deer season actually look like?</p><p><br></p><p>For most deer hunters, the obvious answer is killing a big buck. But if that&#39;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.</p><p><br></p><p>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.</p><p><br></p><p>We’re talking about:</p><p><br></p><p>• My personal goals for this deer season </p><p>• Outcome goals vs. goals you can actually control </p><p>• Becoming a better deer hunter instead of simply hunting more </p><p>• Why we shouldn&#39;t let social media change our standards </p><p>• Hunting new areas and getting outside our comfort zones </p><p>• Balancing deer hunting with family and the things that matter most </p><p>• Why killing a buck doesn&#39;t have to determine whether your season was successful </p><p><br></p><p>Obviously, I want to kill a mature buck. We all want to punch a tag. But I don&#39;t want one dead deer to determine whether hundreds of hours spent scouting, hunting, learning, and making memories were worth it.</p><p><br></p><p>So here&#39;s my question for you:</p><p><br></p><p>**What is YOUR #1 goal for this deer season—and it can&#39;t just be “kill a big buck”?**</p><p><br></p><p>Drop it in the comments.
