Thanks you guys. Little Chief, we used to be able to shoot 2 whitetail bucks in this region but it has been cut to one for about 15 or 20 years now. Now we can get 1 buck and, during a couple brief periods, 1 doe. Or 2 bucks as long as one is a whitetail and one a mule deer. Or travel to a different far off region and get a second whitetail. They try to make it as complicated as possible.

Congrats on a nice buck! Archery kills are all trophys to me. One thing I hate to see is hunters apologizing or downplaying the size of the deer they shoot because it is not some giant antlered deer who lives on thousands of private acres. I know you are not doing that but congrats again on a successful season.

Well, I'll finally be able to get back out in the woods Saturday afternoon. I'd like to hunt Friday afternoon and Saturday morning but I have my St. Jude half-marathon to run Saturday morning. I'll have my truck loaded and parked at the St. Jude campus and I'll head out as soon as I finish.

I know how you feel. Fortunately, I still have until the end of February to hunt with a bow. Of course, the contest ends before that, but I still have a lot of time.

Bow season is over. Shotgun opened last Monday. I went opening day and haven't been since. I moved this past weekend which consumed all of that time. Between that and work I can't find time to get out.
Taking my 9 year old daughter out to NY w/ this Sat AM. Hoping to get her her first deer. My 11 year old took a fat doe earlier this year from this spot w/ crossbow.
