Default Frustrating Hunting for me this year

I have seen more Deer this year and especially NICE Deer but every time I went out I saw NOTHING.

But as my luck this year would have it seems every time I look out my back door I see one like this one. I took this pic just 30 minutes ago.

Maybe next hunting season.

It never fails.. I was feeding birds last year, looked out in the yard and there were four grouse under the bird feeders. They were fun to watch.

That is a nice buck..

i wonder if he can slip thru that fence around him,i seen fence like that here and some say they will go between the wire.

my lab did and they tried to arrest him for hunting on private ground.

Sproulman.. its funny... he DOES go right through the fence. They only jump the fence when they are running from you, but when they come over to my yard they go between the middle pair of barbwire. Kind of odd to watch but they are very graceful compared to "PEOPLE" going through the wire.

Here is a picture from yesterday of some Turkeys. This picture was taken with my trail cam I have mounted at the edge of my patio while I was at work.

Since I live in a suburb of almost 100,000 people guns are a total no no... but I am seriously considering a bow. I havent shot one in 20 years but its been very tempting since the population of Deer and Turkey is incredible here in town compared to where I hunt out in the country.
