Horrible? took no game...but did probably have more close calls than most years, bucks we're still short of my minimum though, probably should have taken a doe or two, but didn't.

Did realize something has to change for next year.....current hunting situation just isn't cutting it. Either going to have to drastically change the current area, or move onto a new area to lease etc...I think I'm done trying where I am, since others....are content with status quo.

Thinking I need to start my own hunt club and find some guys to join and hunt with me. Guys who not only say and have the same views about management I do, but will actually follow through with such standards. I think that's what I'm going to end up trying to do.

Did ask a friend about his friend who hunts iowa though, I think they may only gun hunt their land, so perhaps I'll get lucky and have an IN on bowhunting some decent land in Iowa for bow only.
