RE: Your chance to vote on my ineptness
Jeff, try 36 sits (120 hrs) and only seeing 7 deer (2 bucks and 5 does, 1 doe of which is in the freezer), 5 hogs, a family of coons and 1 coyote. It can/could be worse dude. My season is just now getting towards the rut, but I have already put in a lot. But, you know what, I have ate buck-tag soup the last 3 yrs since I started "bowhunting only". I am okay as long as I am learning though. When I first joined the forum I was told by some of the more experienced here that it might take me about 3 to 4 seasons to get a buck. I guess they may be right. We will see. Lighten up on yourself Jeff. I have to constantly remind myself of this. Last year I was totally let down that I did not get a buck. This year, I intentionally self-enrolled myself into learning my land/deer better. After season scouting this year will be my greatest part of the season. Regardless of what others think or say, I am not all about "the kill". You have/will succeed because you will not quit. That says a lot.
