RE: Another season over in northern Missouri
I saw many huge deer this year but didn't get one down with the bow. I took a couple of doe during rifle during the doe season and shot a doe with the bow but didn't recover her. I will never drop my standards of what buck to shoot b/c I know I will only be disappointed in myself. We practice QDM and eventually the stars will align and I'll put down the ones I'm after. Last buck I took was a 156" gross in 2006 so it's been a couple of seasons for me too. I took away this year a better understanding of where to be during certain times of the year. So the season isn't a loss for me but more another chapter in the book that will hopefully have a great ending next year so to speak.
