RE: Was this your best season?
Not sure.
Last year......('06)....I went into the season with NO expectations. I'd never killed a deer. I had a great season in '06 and it went off like a fairy tale (3 bucks - 1 mounted....a piebald....5 total deer with the bow .......and no blemishes).
This year....I put some pressure on myself. I had a doe mgmt goal that was a steep hill to climb. Although I achieved that goal....AND took another buck that I am havng mounted (4.5 yr old 8-pointer)....I had some things occur this year that dampened the "wow" factor. Was it "successful" (in numbers, yes.....I took nine whitetails via bow and arrow)? Sure. Was it my "best ever"? I'm still not sure.
