No Deer? Post Here!
And #1 in the loser line thus far....Trushot!
No Shame! It's a Tough Game! Signing in with 1 poor shot on an 8 point 2 days into the season( I tracked for 2 days and used a dog; we saw him last week fine and dandy so ZIP IT!<img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>) 3 squirrels and a rabbit! Any other bagless, deerless, or fruitless hunters thus far reply at will! Alas...My season is't over yet! I've got till Dec.31st. Look OUT bushytails!!!! I'm still on the prowl!

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
......nothing yet. But my season is far from over. Had opportunities on a few smaller eights, but not the one I'm looking for. I've seen him five times......but no shots. One of these days.

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
Sign me up too. My season is not over yet as I still have winter bow season for the whole month of January. I could of shot about 40 deer some small bucks and a bunch of does but was holding out for a wall hanger. I had a chance at him but didn't have a good shot at him even though he was only 5 yards away. But I will try some january bow and see what happens.

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
One over the back miss at 15 yards on a to 130" eight pointer. My hunting record was pretty good until this year and then this year I was only able to tag a doe. I know you can't get one every year but my goal is to be successfull more years than I'm not.

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
Are we only talking about this year?
How about 6 (yes, I said six) years in a row without drawing blood on a deer/elk. Plenty of Grouse taken, gophers, etc. but no deer. Ask me if I'm going to continue to bowhunt though... (of course the answer is yes). Maybe I just suck at stalking skills, but I'd rather be out playing with the live animals than cooped up in the office with the mean ones<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle> Jim. |
RE: No Deer? Post Here!
Count me in. Second season in a row. Got 2 shots this year. 1 doe, 1 small 8 point buck. Flesh wounded both of them. Took my bow to a different pro shop and found out it's junk. So there goes my entire season down the tubes. Both deer survived the attack though so I feel better about that. Oh well, third time's the charm. Look out next year because I'm going to be authoring the thread, "How Many Did You Get This Year?" LOL
KEEP IT LEGAL. KEEP IT SAFE. OR WE MAY NOT GET TO KEEP IT AT ALL. |
RE: No Deer? Post Here!
You guys are making me feel much better...My season started great, saw two nice bucks opening weekend and could not get them close enough for a shot then BAM! I have not seen a horn since. talk about frustrating almost two months without seeing a buck. I hunted last night and when I got to my car the temp was 6 degrees! the only thing I saw were two snowmobilers and a couple who thought it was a nice night to walk their three dogs in the woods!
|
RE: No Deer? Post Here!
I'm all over this one. I did get to take a shot and reported the gutshot here(lost him). No tags used in this, my third straight year. Cold front a'comin' so I'm heading out to a very promising spot this afternoon.

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
Count me in on the loser squad! I got a big nothing for both deer and elk this year. I'll get to hunt one more day (Saturday) this year in late muzzleloader season with an "any deer" tag, but other than that (and chances aren't great then) I'll be done for the year without drawing blood. What makes it worse is that I haven't even seen any of the animal I'm after in either season. I nearly got run down by a mule deer doe that wasn't paying attention in elk season, though. At least I know my camo and scent management worked. She passed within less than a foot of me and never knew I was there. I should have grabbed her around the neck and hopped on her back. At least there would have been a little excitement in that hunt. :)

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
Add me to the list. I did not manage to get a deer this year.
|
RE: No Deer? Post Here!
No deer in the freezer for me either. I had many chances that I passed on and a bonified monster buck that I missed by about 6 inches low due to extreme buck fever. Learned much, laughed a lot and had a great time everytime out. There is always 2nd season day after Christmas!
|
RE: No Deer? Post Here!
I am having no luck either this year. I guess thats the way it goes.

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
Nothing. I'm just mad because all I have seen are does and small bucks. The biggest buck I saw was a 3 pointer. He only had one side of his rack. I will keep at it and maybe I'll be in the right place at the right time.

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
Two tags, Zero filled. Optimistic, yes! I have had some opportunities, but I have passed a couple of time on small does/fawns. I had a new stand that I put up and was checking out shooting lanes while my bow was in the truck and the doe was standing broadside for 15 minutes! I have had small bucks in range, but I blew the chance in one way or another. I am still learning what a bowhunter needs to do to be successful in my second season.

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
Whew! (big sigh of relief) I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Went out again today for about 2 hrs. Man it was BEAUTIFUL!! 3 fresh inches of snow, I don't have to wear orange(gun season ended the 30th), and tracks all over. Of course I fell asleep! BE DAMNED comfy treestand!LOL! Pulling out just before legal light I see a 5 and an 8 touseling over about 4 does. Both frothy and chasin' the ladies. I sit and glass them from the truck for a few and after a few minutes they head into the woods 15 yards from my stand! Sweet Jesus can I get a break!!LOL! Oh well, I'll be there again on Saturday! I've had some great experiences this year though and even if I don't see another deer till next year I wouldn't do a thing differently. I feel sorry for those poor schmucks (Yeah YOU Rack Attack<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>) that fill their tags early and can't hunt anymore!

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
No deer here yet for me with the bow either. But i got me a nice 8 with the gun. Well i still got the late season now which goes till jan 1 my chances are better i think, bucks go back on the feed like crazy and winter is setting in here hard in the Upper Peninsula of Mi. Cant wait to get out this weekend!

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
Been bow hunting at least three days a week since Oct 1st. Passed on many deer early in the season. Wished I would have taken one now. Getting alful cold here in Iowa.
|
RE: No Deer? Post Here!
I passed up 15-20 different little bucks and finally got a shot at daddy rabbit on Saturday afternoon and screwed the pooch. Looked for the last 3 days and no luck...depression sets in. He would score 160PY minimum. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
|
RE: No Deer? Post Here!
Nothing yet. I still have 3-5 days that i'll get out. Season closes 12/31/02. I did hit (low) a nice 8-10 point one morning 4 weeks ago, I saw him alive and well 2 weeks ago. I have passed on some smaller bucks and does. Snow is now on the ground and will be with us for the remainder of the year-Tuff hunting, but I need to try. Good Luck!

BOW...what's the "hehe" all about? BTW, congrats on your Kansas buck...quite a hawg...where were you at in Kansas?

RE: No Deer? Post Here!
I didn't get any deer TODAY. I should have... but I didn't. Major shooter malfunction or something. [;9] Today is only one day though. There have been and will be others.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
