Default RE: How would you rate this deer season?

I would say I had a decent season. Not my best, but certainly not my worst.

I had a lot of deer sightings and plenty of deer within shooting range most of the season. I passed up numerous shots at yearling does, button bucks, and small bucks. Even a few mature does early in the season. Had a bunch of good buck sightings by not only myself, but the hunting partners as well. Got close to a few, but no shooting. Had a shot at a decent 2 1/2 year old 8 pt, but missed him. Doh!

Unfortunately the late season is shaping up pretty poorly for me. Hit and lost a doe this past weekend. It was a marginal hit, a little low and back, but right after I shot her it started snowing like crazy and any hopes of a blood trail I had were lost. Looked for 3 hours that night and 5 hours the next day and came up empty handed.

Hopefully I get a chance to redeem myself in the next month or so before the season ends.
