Lessons learned this season

[Bennyboy]

What new lessons did y’all learn this hunting season?

I learned that I’m just not a a huge fan of cup and core bullets anymore. Solid coppers have spoiled me. I didn’t lose any animals but going back to a standard 150g 308 this year, I noticed a lack of blood trail and deer going ALOT further than when I was using Barnes TTSX’s. A relatively small sample size (4 deer) but I missed the “bang flop” I got last year.

That subsonic 300 black works just fine if you put it where it needs to go.

350 Legend at ranges under a hunnert. Yeah I know most here shoot deer at 6,000 yards with a thutty thutty

I learned that it is exceptionally difficult to shoot in low light when you're not prepared for it. Crazy concept, right? Luckily I still made a clean shot but did have to locate it first thing next morning.

It's easier to sleep in, in the comfort of your home. Sitting in my Lazy Boy, in climate control.🥴. Cost less money too

I need to work on my crossbow skills more. Started shooting does in the head and neck and bang/flop with a 7.62x39 SST round.
Also, chiggers suck when they get you.
