and my bowhunting season will be over. I still have a antlerless and buck tag left, and most likely they will be unfilled. This late season has been unbelievable as far as seeing big bucks. I have never had the opportunity to see these many nice bucks in the last portion of bow season. Unfortunetately, every time I see them they have been out of range and/or came in from the unexpected direction, and the wind played heck with my position. They are usually with several does, so the extra eyes, ears, and noses are compounding the problem. When I have had shot opportunities, its been does and young bucks. I've been laying off the doe tag for fear of a bruiser coming. Guess I will wait until the last day and try to take a doe for the freezer if a nice buck don't come in range. These dang deer are bunched up and will not use the same trails and are moving around to different areas. But its been fun. So.......after Thursday, it will be only 8 months and 15 days until the 2004 season begins!!!!!
