It just happens so quick

For me Deer hunting  has always been anti climatic and the reason why I have always prefered small game hunting FUN, FUN, ACTION, ACTION!

Let it happen quick because you can keep right on hunting. The small game seasons and limits are "liberal" (about the only good thing I can say about that word) you can go out the very next day and do it all over again. "Variety", Shotguns, Rifles, Handguns, and Archery all can be used and best of all you do not just pull the trigger on that expensive firearm once. Variety of game, Rabbits-Hare, Squirrels, Coons, Woodchucks, Fox, Coyote, Bobcat, Grouse, Ducks-Geese, Woodcock, Pheasant, Crows! 

Holy Smokes I am getting fired up and excited just thinking about it!

It is a whole different intensity level and misses are laughed off much easier.

a lot of enjoyment can be had during preseason prep depending on how you go about doing it.  it sometimes can be hard not putting both feet in getting lost in the expectations from yourself to fill tags and bring home a desirable set of antlers.  for some it turns into a multi-year grind with seemingly insufficient success to show for it.  when you feel at all like that is starting to happen it's important to pull your *&^% together enough to take a step back, take a deep breathe, and take it in for what it is.  you're doing something your passionate about, that millions of others have done before you for the same reason.  there's more seasons to come, but don't let a single one go to waste.  you're out there doing it and that's what matters, not what's on your wall or how many tags you've filled.  making it a point to do that will keep you from getting burnt out doing what you love.  you keep going strong doing what it takes to get the job done. success follows. no BS.  i've had to take that step back a few times this year and it's not even into the season yet.  man is it going to be a great year though.
