Well, gun season is over for me. All I wanted to do today was shoot some groceries, I was too slow to get on the two or three does I saw and my buddy in the next holler shot at least one of them, and sure enough, I had a really nice 10 point in my sights at 60 yards, TWICE… 20 yards over the property line. My buddy let me take his two deer home though, so I got my groceries one way or another, and blood-splattered footwear to boot.
I’m back at it this afternoon trying to get a doe. Sure is a beautiful afternoon but cool. You know I’m actually sad for folks who never had the opportunity to enjoy God’s creation like us hunters and fishermen do. I think many of this worlds troubles could be solved from a treestand or in a boat.
Darnedest season ever... I've seen a whopping 2 deer all season. The little buck I shot and a teensy tiny something that I got a glimpse of before shooting hours one morning. And both were here at the house. I saw NOTHING at the farm. My husband saw the small buck he shot and got a quick view of a doe and fawn blitzing through a field across the stream from him. And our friend and his son saw NOTHING. Cams show all kinds of deer at night. Tracks and poop everywhere. But nothing to be seen during the day...
You must be hunting near me! As far as on stand/in the blind while hunting, I’ve seen two deer since since I started hunting early ML. I’ve seen a few driving in and out. At least you shot one. The two I saw weren’t close.
Well I saw three does. But, it’s a momma and her two little ones. They’ve been eating my bird seed all summer and fall so they get a pass.
Saw 15 deer this morning. Zero this afternoon. Lol. Last hurrah in the morning. Good luck to all and be safe!
I passed this old buck yesterday morning while chasing does with some other bucks. I decided last night I was going to cull him if I saw him this morning. He came through about 8:20 chasing three does. An old buck with crappy genes. 16.5" inside spread, 7 points. He won't be sharing those shoddy genes any more.
