That's all, folks.
 

Well, I called it a season today.

No deer for me this year. The season wasn't completely unsuccessful, depending on how you want to look at it. I passed up several bucks this year that I would have shot in a heartbeat in previous years. With little to no rut activity, the deer have seemed to go nocturnal on me. Season ends at dark tonight, but I have to work 2-10.

The Allegiance is up for sale, so we'll see what next fall brings.

Thanks for all the support this year, guys. Good luck to everyone still out there. :)

No bucks for me. I did get a nice mature doe. I'm not giving up yet. There's still some late rut activity here with some new scrapes. I'll try to get out a couple of days a week in the eve.
Oh yeah I passed on 5 deer this year as well, all dinks!

Hey Dan ..... keep us posted in your hunt for your new bow ..... I have missed your input the last several months ....

RE: That's all, folks.
 

Tough luck, Dan.....but like you said....it wasn't "unsuccessful". Let me know how you do on your bow....and what you end up buying.

RE: That's all, folks.
 

I've already decided. ;)

I'm going with a 50-60# Black Ice this year. Hopefully I can tweak it to about 62 or 63#.

I've shot a few of the new bows [General, Marquis, Katera, MOAB...] All were nice, but not nearly as smooth as what I'm wanting this year. Last year I went for speed, this year I'm wanting smooth. The Marquis almost fit the bill, but the ATA was a bit more than I was wanting.

It'll be interesting...

You had fun didn't you? That is what it is all about. I am deerless so far this year but have been having fun though....

We're only allowed one deer per year. I generally pass on does until the last few sits of the year. The last three times I've gone out I've seen a total of zero deer. Had a doe come along, I would have shot her, absolutely.

If Washington would allow us multiple deer, things would be different. ;)

Thats to bad Dan, but its only unsuccessful if you did not enjoy yourself or learn something. You had a good year last year and hopefully you will have a better one next year!

My sentiments exactly.You give it all you got and what ever happens happens.It is all good!
