RE: 2005 Season! Success or Failure?
Failure: Still no deer in my second season. I was unable to hunt as much as I would have liked, but family is vastly more important.
Success: Our first food plots did better than expected. I did learn quite a bit about deer movement and habits.
Failure: Poor general stand placement, allowed the animals to pattern us pretty quickly.
Success: First nearly sucessful bow still hunt resulted in a heart pounding encounter with a very surprised doe. (if she would've stayed put another 2 seconds...)
