Tough year for deer huntin'

<< < (3/4) > >>

mullet:
 This has actually been a good year for me. But getting on a new lease has helped. I didn't get a shot during archery but have dropped 3 with the smokepole. We still have two weeks left.

 I just got invited to dog hunt in the morning. With it being as cold as it's going to be this weekend I might just do it. I can hang out near my truck and come out when the dogs start getting close.

I found this to be a tough year also. I am new to this bow thing, but I have been out a lot and have not seen a deer while bow hunting yet. Took my Flintlock out during gun season and nothing seen then. I just went out for muzzleloading season and finally saw one at about 30 yards moving throught the woods but didn't present a shot. Did see about 8 running through the field beside my hunting area but nothin else. Still bow season for a few weeks. I'll keep enjoying the woods.

Well if its true ( and I have a hard time beleiving it) the owner of the land I hunt in Indiana was told by 3 guyes that live out around his property have see a mountain lion or some kind of very large cat with a very long tale.   I spent alot of time in those woods and have never seen any sign of a big cat,  but if it true that could explain the lack of deer.

Postman:
Sometimes its hunting, sometimes it's "armed birdwatching"  ;D Better luck next year, I guess....had lots of chances, hunted off the ground mostly.  Had deer within 20 yds. 4 times  but couldn't seal the deal. went out with a .308 and snuck up on a spiker at the end of rifle season, though. hopefully new land where i got him will pan out - has lots of cedars to hide in, & plenty of buck sign can't wait for October!

North TX was good Pete. Those few cold snaps we had late brought em out. Didn't get any antlers this year but was just meat huntin mostly anyway. Freezer's full :).
