Well, bow hunting was great. Got a 7pt opening day in Sept, two more doe and one 5 point. Then early muzzle was a nightmare. Rain, rain or more of it. Gun just blew. Passed on 16 deer first day. Then saw 8pt. Shot it and it ran about 15 yards on a nieghbors property. But I saw it go down. So 5 min later, I see the nieghbor peaking and juking around his stand to get a shot. And then heard bam. He said it got up and he had to finish it off. Yea right. I hit it with a 45-70 and made a fist size exit hole and blew out the last three ribs. He hit it in the guts with a 243. You know like it was laying down. And before I could get 50 yards, he was yelling he got it. I said whatever and figured no problem, lets me hunt some more. Well, I didn't see another buck all 2 weeks. And the last 4 times I went out, I didn't see a deer and about froze to death. This was mostly in Carroll county.

So it was good and bad. I would rather kill them all with a bow anyway.
