Smoked this guy
So it's not GS but it's FL public land. Went on a muzzle loader quota hunt and shot my biggest buck ever. I went way in and I shot him midday. Very next week on another quota shot another stud with a muzzle loader. The buck came in chasing a doe. At one point a few years ago I thought I was a good hunter until I went almost 2 years without shooting any deer. These are my 2 biggest bucks and on back to back weekends. On public land you can do it all correct and not get a thing. If you are doubting yourself because you feel like you do it right but get blanked, keep going. It will happen. Big one was 129" 124" after deductions. The 10 point was 107" after deductions. Both were 4.5 years old.
