And December is here. Who is putting the first buck on the board for Dec?

Who's left and who is still out there trying for their first buck of the year with a bow and their contest entry?

We got one more week of the gunners here then I will be back at it. Late season is though but you can still catch a good buck if you can handle the cold and pay close attention to the wind.

I will be out a few more times, trying to help my team!! So far I have the big goose egg![:'(]

Unfortunately the hunting bow has been stripped, no more chasing them with a bow for me. I'm eat up with target shooting right now.

I have yet to grab a gun out of the safe...nor will I. Bow only here. But I have 2 Does and have yet to get a shot at the 4 Big Bucks I want. Patience Danielson...Patience

Today is the last day of Illinois regular firearm season. Muzzleloader is next but I can bowhunt along with them. Its going to be tough and I don't know as of yet what may be left on land I hunt, but I've decided to still hold out for a big buck. I may be "buckless" this season.

I'll finish out this last week of gun season trying to pop another doe or 2 with my shotgun or pistol, depending on what unit I am in. The hunting will be tough going from here on out. The next I'll pick up the bow is for the late season. Well the next I will take it hunting, I'll shoot between now and then.

After Dec 9th Gun is over and I will be back at until Jan.

Today marked the end of Muzzleloader in MN, I have been out today and yesterday. Yesterday had a really nice buck, worthy of the wall come in opposite of where I was watching....he was silent, we just got about a foot or more of powder on the ground throughout yesterday. Didn't see him until it was too late. Nothin today, muzzleloaders were pushin it hard and came through our area.

Gun season here doesn't end until the 9th. I plan on going out the week after. Good news is that the bowhunting goes until Jan 7th, I believe.
