It could be a lot worse

Yeah I know. Not been the best here this year either,( for myself that is) An same as you said, we had either 30 mph winds or storm or I had something I had to get done and couldn't go. but since I put my son on his first, I REALY don't care about my season as much this year as usual.

Yeah, I know the feeling somewhat. and that's Huge.
My son didn't shoot one last year, (his first year hunting.) but he had one come in that he shot at. I told him I hunted for several years before I even got to go to full draw on one.

I guess this season could have been worse.Had a bad time during archery.I changed arrows and that was not a good thing.I did manage to hit a 4pt but the yotes beat me to it,so all I got was a set of antlers.Took a 3 day trip with a friend of mine that has never deer hunted and got him his first deer.That left me with one day to hunt,and nothing.My freezer is looking pretty low,But I guess it could be worse:wallbash:

Oct. was a good month for me got a Doe in NH & a Doe in NY went down hill from there never got a chance at a buck but I still have till Thurs. Not good odds since I get home only an hour before it gets dark but I aint quitting yet

Took deer buck&doe with bow and gun but missed a chip shot on a big buck with bow:wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:.

Great for me so far. Nothing big in terms of a buck but four with a bow, one with a mzl. and three with a rifle is a big improvement over only hunting 45 minutes last year.

Still got a few days left here and then a peak rut hunt in AL. I don't know if I will venture out anymore here or not.

Not a good year here, kinda knew going into the fall but you never know I have 1 last trip ML to fill a tag.

Not a bad year here, but not a good year either. After all but giving up on bow hunting the past couple of years I decided to give it another go mainly to check activity around a new stand I had put up on a new clearing created this summer. I "shot" what was by far the best buck I had ever shot with a bow on Halloween evening. But it was not to be. I searched for several days with no luck. He ran towards a neighborhood and a small dog got him up and I believe he left the county! The following Saturday I "killed" my best deer to date on the mz opener. A 130" class ten with double brows. I have hoped someone would see the buck I shot with bow during mz or gun but no luck.
