Get off the keyboard and hit the woods. Dont be envyous
Trust me it wasn't an issue of not putting time and or effort in. I am through hunting for the year because I don't shoot does in January and my main hunting spot is closed do to high water. The numbers you posted are what envious because it's not possible for anyone to see those kind of numbers in the area that I hunt. I hunted Arkansas, Missouri, and Mississippi and I was probably being conservative on the number of hours that I spent in the woods. So it wasn't a matter of not spending the time or the effort because of the were there. I hunted daylight til dark over a dozen days this year in some of my best locations and didn't have a day that I saw over 10 deer. So again I envy anyone that is hunting an area that has that kind of potential. I don't envy your hunting ability

All season I was hunting on game lands for a nice 10 point my friend had saw opening day but he couldn't draw on it. Saw him twice, once on a friday night and another on the next following saturday. All season had little 2-6 points under my stand. None was worth shooting even know they probably get slayed in rifle season....oh well
