Mine was one of the worst seasons i have had in the last 20 years.
First of all a part time job with a local coop kept me out of the deer woods until late november. I still got out about 25 times, but it's clear the deer populations in this area are way down from a few years ago. I noticed a drop in trailcamera pics last year and this year. Quality of the bucks on film were way down.
I bet 10 out of the 25 times out i saw absolutely nothing. Never heard a grunt, never saw a buck chasing a doe let alone following one. I did have a chance at a decent 8 pointer but missed him with my bow. I filmed all my hunts this fall and doubt i even have enough footage to even put something together.
And to top it off i broke the stock off my muzzleloader halfway through the late gun season.
I just want to forget about this year, find other properties to hunt, and focus on changing things up a bit and being ready for next year.
