Man, what luck. I would invest in a newer truck before next season. I am proud of you that you're able to keep your chin up during this fiasco. Your next season will make up for this season.

The same thing happened to the deer in my area before and during season. I saw at least 20-25 deer in the area that I hunted pre-season, but as soon as season began, they disappeared. I ended up taking a nice big-bodied spike buck this year. Again, good luck next year.
