Why are hunters satisfied after hunts with no harvest? | goHUNT

From the article......"Many hunters tend to be content with just seeing animals in the field, while others are more interested in the social aspect attached to hunting."

It just depends on what your goals are going into the hunt. If the above is your goal.......then sure, you're going to be satisfied with your hunt regardless of whether you kill something as long as you see animals and/or have a good social time. If your goal is to kill something and you're unsuccessful, you shouldn't be satisfied with that unsuccessful goal. That's what keeps us going........that drive for success. Success can only be quantified by what the goal is or goals are.
