RE: feeling like a bad hunter
Im in the same boat. I saw does at the beginning of the season, but as soon as doe season opened, I havent seen anything. My problem is that at the beginning of the season I have forgotten everything I have learned about hunting.. and I miss opportunities. Since I hunt public land, by this time of the season they are pretty much sticking to the heavy cover. Of course Im not gonna give up. A bad day of hunting is still better than a good day at work.
Next year Im gonna get me a black powder rifle so I can hunt that week before gun season opens and get me some meat so I dont feel like I been skunked. I have only scored about half the years I have been hunting.
Hang in there..
