A bust, not quite..... but in country that live in;I believe strongly if I put the time and effort in, I should get a shot every year at a mature buck. I feel very fortunate in that respect and realize othersdon't have it as good I as do, but then again I am not living in a whitetail mecca either.I expect to harvest a buck every year and would be disappointed in myself if I didn't, because for me whitetail bowhunting is like any solo sport like wrestling for example..no one to blame but me and if my opponent out smarts me or I dont work hard enough to succeed...then I get what I deserve....a lack of effort/preperation on my part would likely motivate me to do even more for the next season...,
