RE: End of year tally
I got my average over the past 10 years, 4. Three does, and one I thought was a doe but was a button buck. I also shot a doe too low in shotgun season, and over the course of two hours, kicked it up three times trying to finish it off, but it ran under another hunters' stand and he killed her (114 pounds). The past few years, my tally has decreased from 9 to 6 to 4. Nrmally, I let quite a few deer walk, but only did that a few times this year (spike buck and four pointer being two of them). With two kids, I don't get out much, and my areas had zero acorns this year...
