If you spend enough time in the woods hunting wild game, you realize there are things that you eventually see as truths. It is knowledge from experience that most newcomers will only realize after they too have spent many seasons in search of success.
Here's just a few to get a list a going...
Deer and other game animals often use the same travel routes for generations. It's not uncommon to take one on the same trail that has been producing harvests for several decades, if not more.
If you hunt long enough, you will one day miss. Anyone who claims they have never missed has either not been hunting very long or has trouble telling the truth.
"It happens" is never a justifiable excuse for poor or unethical shots that lead to unrecovered game. You play the way you practice.
Ground shrinkage and buck fever are both real.
