My biggest mistake over the years has been camping on the tops where the action is and to wake up in the morning to find they have shut up shop. Don't camp where you want to hunt!
The other one that I try and live buy is only to shot a stag better than what I have. No use stacking antlers when they could turn into a real trophy in a couple more years. Photos are great to look back on in this situation.
Enjoy
