Not as big as the one that little gal from Kansas got but I bet I appreciate it every bit as much. Maybe a couple hours tomorrow and I'm done. Well, I'll be switching to other things, got to have an excuse to be out there.

Season over. Disappointed in myself. Missed twice. Buck and doe. 2nd year with no prize. I blame myself.

Sucky year here also. Pretty much like the rest of the year.

Never found a decent place to go. Ended up sitting in unfamiliar state land. Never saw anything to shoot at the few times I was able to get out.

I hear you. I missed once but I still feel like a jerk for it. It was nearly a perfect shot, well position and shot was bad.

next year I have plans. I’m cutting paths in the thick brush and putting up a Cadillac of a perch to shoot from. I heard and saw deer all around me in the thick brush just never had shots. I saw 11 deer and heard probably another 6-7 walking through the brush. Had one shot. If I get up high I figure I’ll double my chances.

I went for a 2 mile walk this afternoon on a farm I recently got invited to hunt on.
I only saw fresh tracks from 2 deer, and the tracks crossed over the property line and left. I’m grateful to the landowner but I’m not sure how much I’ll bother with the place in the future. It seems like the whole place gets quite a bit of hunting pressure. There’s tree stands scattered everywhere and there’s not very much deer sign.

I don’t mind though. I had a great season. I filled my freezer, I killed a wall-hanger, and best of all, It was my daughter’s first season and she got her first deer.

Healthy! That thing looks dead as a door nail with its tongue hanging out

Has good shape, color, coat. Looked healthy before it was rapidly killed.

Closed out the deer season last evening without seeing a deer. A bit breezy, but all in all a beautiful time in the woods.

Deer seasons over, time to trasition to predator hunting. Coyotes should be fat and slow due to EHD in the lower counties.

I saw a coyote around noon yesterday, he crossed the road in front of me and loaded along a winter wheat field, the poor thing must have the mange, his coat was very wispy at best and should be thick and lush by now. I generally don't like them but don't like seeing that fate for them either.
