RE: did you get a deer your fist hunting season?
I have only hunted 2 seasons, and came up empty my first year. My first time out I had a doe walk right up to me. I didn't shoot because I didn't think it was a doe day. When I got back to the truck, I checked the schedule and sure enough it was a doe day. That was the first and last opportunity I had all season.
Last year I got a six point, and saw many more animals than I did my first year.
