I went through the same thing the two previous years. Nothing went right and the effort just to get some venison was becoming a bit too much.

Two years ago i got nothing but the site of a tail and arse bouncing away. Last year i didnt score until the last week of ML season. That was a long and tiring wait for one buck.

This year i filled my tags in the area where we built a comfy heated tree "house" in about 25 hours. All that time spent building it and it was only needed for a couple of hours.
