Going into the 1st season of deer hunting around here (or is it the 4th)

1st season planting/prepping/repairing
2nd season scouting
3rd season hunting
4th shed hunting

So no more chances to take a poke at one ofthem bucks by us.
Now instead of competing with the neighbors for tagging a big buck, we compete with the squirrels and other antler eating critters for the chance of finding what we had been watching all season long, and a chance to see them up close.
