Well ok for me didn't get to go until Christmas Eve, saw a 4 point that day and didn't take my 30-30 with a scope (no idea what I was thinking) and had to try to stand up in my tree-stand seat, and shoot backwards around the HUGE tree I had my stand attached too.

Christmas day took a big doe, (for around here that is), stupidly didn't sight in my scope , that I didn't take the day before, it was off almost 6-8 inches at 100 yards and that was about my shot, hit her in the back had to climb out of my stand real quick, run up and put her down, felt horrible that I didn't get a clean kill on her.


For my father ok could have been way better.

We run a Hardwood Forest Preserve, here in Tennessee and sell memberships for people to use it to ride ATV, hike, camp, fish, etc, Only select people we know get to hunt, he set up his spot, and has been putting corn out there since July-August, scouted it, watched the Deer for months, picked out his buck, an 8 pointer good sized, small rack, prime picking though. First day of deer season he gets a call from one of the HWFP members asking if there is anything they should know about hunting out there ?

Keeping a Long story shorter lol, the guy shot the 8 point Buck out of my old mans stand on opening day. Broke his heart. ( He did eventually get a 4 point and a doe.)

That being said, Season is now over, and There is still plenty of deer for next years harvest.
