I would say a successful year just because I got to hunt. As far as getting a deer or seeing a deer this was probably the worst year I have had since I was 12. I saw fewer deer and the nice bucks that were seen before Oct. 1st dissappeared for the entire season. No one around us shot a nice deer with gun or bow!!!! I have one more week to go and hope to tag a nice buck but a doe will be going in the freezer next chance!!!!
