As another deer season comes and goes i think we should not focus on If we tagged out or how big of a buck we killed but on how lucky we are to be apart of gods awesome creation. And one More thing... lets pray that turkey season comes quick!  |

LOL, hadn't been out in a couple weeks, so figured I'd give the last couple hours
of the season a try today.
Crazy windy, so hunted from ground.
Had two coming like they were on a string.
SHOULD have crossed a stream about 15 yds in front of me, BUT made a 90.
I was against a tree, so had to do a 180, as they were now behind me.
Too thick to sneak one thru, so hoped they get clear.
JUST about open, about 25 yds, and I hear a STOMP!
Lean head out a bit and look slightly to my left, and another doe.
And another, and another, and another.
4 more about 12-15 yards away, plus the original two still about 25 yds away.
12 eyes, all burning holes in me.
I'd LIKE to tell you that I pulled out a last minute of the season,
million to one shot, but that'd be a lie. We all stared at each other a long minute, and then they all expolded.
Still had a great time!
Payback time for squirrels now, THEN I'll start thinking about turkeys.
Hope all had a good season!

It occured to me yesterday as I was getting ready to head to town near dark that I should have bowhunted for the last night. I grabbed the binocs and glassed the back field - got to see next year's shooters! Were 10 deer feeding in the radishes and turnips, three were bucks. One forky, a decent 7 pt I saw a few times this year and passed, probably 2 years old, and a spindly 9 or 10 point, maybe 110-120" score, 2 years old. Those last two should really blow up this year and be nice bucks come September. Working on a smoothbore 16ga flintlock now, I think it has a date with the bigger one for next early MZ season. Just that quick, my post duck season depression vanished and I'm looking forward to next fall! Is it wrong that I don't even go back to work for 2 1/2 months and I'm already looking forward to Jubilation Day in October?! |

Had a pretty good season this year. no big bucks but shot a few deer, had a great trip to Wyoming, best duck season I have had in years and got a turkey hunt coming up. Not to bad considering the crappy hunting weather we all had to deal with.. Come on big fish and gobblers now...

I had a good season as well. 10 doe maked me and some close friends really happy! I can't wait till this spring season and next deer season as I am going to be taking my son hunting a lot more cause he is taking his hunting safety course. I am also getting him a shot gun for turkey and borrowing a crossbow for him to deer hunt! I also enjoyed God's creation and blessings throughout the season!

I had a great season and still am... goose ain't over yet and trout/perch just began fellas! ;-) Had a great wyoming hunt with quite a few guys on this board. Several awesome goose and duck hunts. Deer I didn't really get to all that much. Did have a blast with hunter though! Hopefully next season there's a few more deer in there. Then a few squirrels, doves and rabbits sprinkled in there. Every year I learn something new, open a new door, make it out with more friends and just get more time to enjoy nature. I can't wait for Turkey season. But honestly, even if I didn't get a single thing, it's still great to just get out with friends and enjoy the hunt. I can't wait to get my girls out there one day.
