Default Hunting Season is at an End

I know I havn't been on in a long time. But I thought I would fill you guys in on my season. And let me tell you that It has been a weird one at that. Antelope season was horrible. Winter sure took a toll on them. Had to hunt super hard and smart to get one. Ended up shooting a little buck that didn't even have the horns through the hide. It was a nice 200 yard head shot! Man that XTP Mag tore the right side of his head clean off. But he was the size of german shepard. Hard to tell the size with the grass is up at your waist. Opening weekend of deer/elk my Nikon 250bdc Omega scope failed me. The seal broke and inside the scope was foggy. So I took it off and luckly I had the same scope on a different gun and put it back on my BC Triumph. Sighted it in and was ready for hunting. Took a week off for elk and got a cow elk! First time that has happened in 14 years. Got one when I was 12 and now at 26. It was a 50 yard timber shot. Got 115 lbs of meat from her. Luckly there was snow so the drag wasn't horrible. After shooting my elk I noticed that my scope was fogged up inside. So I have had TWO Nikon Omega 250 BDC Scopes fail me in less than two months. I still used it for deer hunting because the weather was nice. But I sent that one back to Nikon too. Deer hunting was a bust for bucks. Only seen one and that was a two point not bigger then its ears. Ended up shooting a doe on thanksgiving. So this hunting season was just weird. Never had sooo much bad luck yet I got an elk. Nikon replaced the first scope with a new BDC300 so I'm sure the second they will do the same. Hope all your guys season went well.
