The hunting trip that didn't go as planned

[Alan]

I once scouted for weeks, had the perfect spot picked out, knew the patterns. Opening morning came and there was another truck already parked at my trailhead. Someone else had the same idea. I ended up hiking three miles further in, saw nothing and came home empty-handed. Sometimes hunting is less about skill and more about luck and timing

Some days the woods just laugh at your best efforts...

At least the hike counted as cardio..

You can plan every single detail but someone else still gets there first, it really makes you realize how much plain old luck is involved sometimes.

That just sucks all the fun out!

That’s hunting, you can do everything right and still get beat by timing or plain bad luck.
