I can't believe I'm even writing this, but I got every tag I purchased when I bought my license in August! I took 23 days off from work, plus my normal wknd days off, and hunted every stinkin one of them. My season started with early bow in end of Sept. It ends this coming wknd with late Archery or Muzzleloader here in NY. I've been hunting for almost 20yrs, and only went skunked one other time before. I saw a bunch of deer on & off during archery seasons. I did pass on a small doe with a nursing fawn early on, and later a small spike. So I could've, but I don't have any regrets passing them. They'll be more fun next season if survived. I came close few other times during the rut, but no cigar! It just seems strange I haven't taken a deer, and in fact no one in my family has gotten a deer, and my brothers hunt almost as hard as I do. I guess its just the way it goes some yrs. Weather here in Ny didn't make it the best of hunting either later on. I hunted on several rainy days, sleet, snow, freezing rain, and some high winds. I got one last chance this wknd, but my hopes are not very high. But I don't quit until I hear the fat lady singing!!
