The fact that most guys give up is part of what makes the hunting get good again. The bucks needs to put weight back on after the rut and they get very little pressure by that time. They become easy to pattern again. Certainly not a walk in the park but very doable and very rewarding.
Thanks Bob! One of these days I'll have to get a new scanner so I can share a few photos of a couple real big boys I got with the bow.Just like you,remember the photo I shared on here of that big double drop tine. I saw his butt one more time second season. But even for the flintlock he was out of range. He's not the only big boy I saw over the years during the second season. The area's I hunt are public, but small. So these deer get pushed into area's you can't touch them. But second season.after things calm back down,plus the need for the deer to find food. I always have a good chance to still score on some of those deer in the late season. If they don't get poached! Ended up with a average 7pt. second to last day of the extended season this past year. But I wanted that double drop bad!
