The harvest wasn't down as much as I actually thought it would be. I seen the totals today and the state was only down around 6,000 deer.
In our hunting party, sightings were waaaayyy down from any previous season and not a single mature buck was even sighted.
My oldest son (10 yo) did manage to take his first buck so I was extremely pleased about that!
I'm already looking forward to what the second half and muzzleloader seasons will produce. They can only get better for us!
