Hard to compare for me. I had already put a big boy on the ground by this time last year, but I have seen more quality bucks this year. I just havent connected yet. I would say there about the same, even though I had a lot more time to hunt last year then what i got this year. Im feeling pretty confident about the next couple weeks, i have spotted two 140 class 8 points and two 160 class 10s. I have made my adjustments and looking forward to the next couple weeks. Im fortuante enough to have various properties to hunt, one place that was on fire last year isnt doing so hot this year, but i picked up two new places this year and both have large bucks on them. Its too early to say which season is better, but i just got to keep adjusting with deer and im sure i will have a good season either way.
