This is my first season hunting and every time I've been afield (except for one sit) I've seen deer. The problem is they haven't been close enough to take a shot. Even worse is that now I can only do Saturdays - and not every one. The long Thanksgiving weekend should be good for one more day in the woods. But last Saturday was the worst - I saw two deer - a good sized buck and then a doe. Both of them caught my scent and took off before coming any closer! Did my best with killing my scent, but they got me! The wind that day was not in my favor. Hopefully this weekend will be better.

What's even worse is that I see even more deer on the side of the road dead. If I could hunt with my truck's bumper I'd probably have one by now!
