no. I had gotten 8 point bucks the previous 3 years so I was holding out for another 8. the only buck I had in range was a small 5 point. I did get 3 does though.
My goal for this year is to just get a buck overa 4pt. my season is kind of hosed (surgery tomorrow) so my hunting time will be severely limited.

06 was a fantastic year for me. I got a doe on oct 7 in MI, the Illinois buck in my avatar on Oct 27, and a 7 point back home in MI on Nov 14.
Three with a bow is a great year for me. I'd be happy with two does this year.

My season in terms of deer harvesting was not even close to what i was hoping for. Only managed a doe. The 2 bucks i was holding out for i found out after the season was over that they were killed, oh well. This year im planning on wacking atleast 5 does and 2 bucks. So far im empty handed though. I better pick it up.

Did not meet my goals in 06, they were to shoot one Doe and a mature buck, we are allowed one buck, so im picky. Killed the only Doe i shot at, a double with my son, he got his to 
Passed a ton of 1.5 and 2.5 bucks, seen three mature bucks, two biggest were to brushy with no shot at 27 yards, the smaller of the three was at 25 yards i took a shot at only to hit a limb mid flight snapping the arrow halfway to him. thought i had an opening and did not see the limb, just glad it totally missed and did not wound.

Yes I met my '06 goals of killing a doe and a mature buck. I accomplished both. Here is my 130'' class 12 point from '06.
My goals for '07 are the same. Here is the guy I would like to let the air out of. I actually saw him yesterday evening which was IL opener. He came out on the opposite side of the field I was hunting with another mature deer and fed for a few mins. Then they begin sparring pretty aggressively.He actually ranthe 130" 8 pointer off. the whole time they were about 30 - 40 yards out of my effective range. I'm pumped to say the least.

one doe, but had a great time cementing my friendship with Greg and hunting in IL with him.
