The thing is I didn't changed spots. I hunted the same stand for over 2 months everyday!

I would have shot the 140" 10pt that came in only minutes before I killed my deer. I could have shot him at 42 yards instead of waiting for him to get closer. Thena few minutes later I would have shot the deer I did shoot and woulda been tagged out in OK.
But hey, it all worked out and I got the bigger of the two, the 10 will be back next year... hopefully

The deer might catch on to that a little bit... just a thought.

Walking into an area where I know there was a good buck,sweating from the heat, hanging a stand and hunting it. I know better. Next year I will not sweat going in!!! I will wait for cooler days.

I kind of had a let down after I arrowed three deer in 10 days this year..I wish I would have hunted harder from Nov 10th-20th but I was so worn out from work, that during the last 10 days of my vacation, I just hunted every other day and the other days I kept my kids from daycare and took them to the movies and played with them......on second thought, I wouldn't have hunted harder.....being with my kids with no work was just too much fun.

This year......... ah, nothing. If I would have come to full draw instead of waiting for a better shot, I may have had a chance at a big non-typical. As it stands, I took a nice 170s typical 2 days later, so I wouldn't change a thing.

Shot a doe one night when it was getting dark, and I didn't wait long enough before I tried to recover. It was a good hit with lots of blood but she jumped and ran when I got close to her. Tried to trail her the next morning but she went too far into property that I don't have permission on.
