How do you define a successful hunt?

[Mojo68]

I just spent 5 days at the ranch with my folks and hunted several times each day. I had deer come to my feeder and food plots each time I sat in the stand. After I got home I was telling my wife what a great time I had hunting and she had a puzzled look on her face because I didn't take one shot the whole time. I explained that a great hunt doesn't always include killing a deer but being out and watching the world wake up and start the day. I would like to hear how you rate a hunt a success.
