I learned its worth it to just spend the money on good game cameras. Same thing with feeder timers. Had a terrible time with unreliable timers and feeders not going off. Thats the first thing on my list for the off season. Get good timers.

What did you learn from hunting season 2016?
Here's from my list of notes I keep on my phone so I can reread it before next season- been doing this for years- tired of making the same mistakes.
Enjoy-
Digital night scope is useless in fog as is high powered green light- which can see a few yards further.
Do not drink coffee on evening hunt. You get crappy sleep later that night.
The digital scoped 6.8 has adequate zoom for 200yd shots, no need to bring 2 long guns if hunting 200yds or under.
Your October facial hair needs to get cut off before gun season if using AR's!!! ( collapsible stock pulls goatee hairs)
Bring more long and short sleeve T shirts on Splendora week long hunts.
Shoot pigs quartering away when bowhunting - you loose too many shooting broadside
Dont wear army pants while bow hunting- they are too noisy, just don't do it.
Don't have dad corn out for you- he most likely used his hands which is why nothing has touched it for 3 days
When brushing in ground blind make sure no limbs from tree or bush above roof , it will make a scratching sound on roof material when wind blows.

I can honestly say I learned the same this season. However, I also learned how to bow hunt a few certain setups successfully. I learned how I need to hunt for mature bucks in the future at the lease. And I learned how much effect the moon and air temperature has on deer activity and the rut in the areas I hunt.
I have also learned that keeping a log of my hunting experiences is a useful tool in drawing conclusions for future hunts.
