Don't assume hunting opportunities and game numbers will remain the same or increase.

As a young hunter I assumed game populations would always be pretty much equal. Take advantage of the good conditions when you can because its not likely to always be "good."

Land ownership, land conditions, and game management practices will change. Not always for the better.

When you are young, time seems to be in abundance. Don't assume as you age you'll have more time.

Plan the big hunts now. Waiting until next year may not work out.
