how good my season was
 

:Das a 12year old kid i had a pretty good season. killed my first buck, but missed 4 or 5. but i just love to hunt. what about you

RE: how good my season was
 

Congrats DeerHunter on your first buck. None will be as sweet as that first one. We all miss from time to time. I hope you learned something from those misses. If we all never missed, we'd all be master hunters. LOL. But good hunters will try to be a little more patience, practice more before the season and shoot only when the deer is in the most perfect position. It's hard to do, but you are young and have plenty of time to perfect your style. Keep up the good hunting and I am glad to see such a younster as yourself getting into hunting. Good luck next year and keep us posted on your progress pal.

Welcome to the forum young feller! LOL! I whacked two does this year one with a compound and one with a crossbow after stalking for 30 yards. You will be very welcome here pal and don't be afraid to ask questions.

my season went well, i got a 6 point with 20 inch spread buck on publicland.

this was hardest season i put in years.
i saw very few deer..

good to hear you are hunting BUCK, SPROULE REALLY LIKES THAT.
thats how i started and still hunt only a BUCK.

you should be very proud of that BUCK,take care.

RE: how good my season was
 

my bow season didnt go too bad, I got a doe and missed a couple others, including a nice buck, which I came to blame the broadheads for, but I did see a bunch

gun deer season didnt go too good as far as deer taken, for me or anyone else in our group... I hunted mainly with my pistol this year(which I have been for the last few years), Imissed a nice buck right off the bat but I did get a nice 8 point and a doe, but other than that it was hard to even see one around here, the deer justarent around anymore...




I've been hitting the rabbits pretty hard lately and they're hard to find around here anymore too, in fact I'm having trouble finding any at all, all the usual spots I hunt are dead and I'm not finding any anywhere else either, I've also noticed that the turkey sign/numbers around here seem to be dwendlingtoo, but with all the predators around here I guess its no surprise...

Then I hunted HARD the rest of the year and got this guy
the last hour of the last day... literally! (2/3/08)

Like I said, it was a long, hard season, but rewarding.

Congrats for getting your first deer - and at age 12!! You have a life time of deer hunting to enjoy. Pay attention to the postings on this forum and you will greatly increase your knowledge base about CBs and deer hunting in general.

Although I have deer hunted with vertical bow and gun for over 30 years, this was my first year to hunt with a deer crossbow. I am fortunate enough to have access to over 200 acres of timber within walking distance of my house. I took two does and two bucks with CB this year. My family loves venison - I hope 4 deer is enough. I thoroughly enjoyed hunting with my new Excal Vortex with LumiZone scope.

This season was a great on for sure! I took a button buck early in the season. I then took a nice eight point later before gun season. I was able to get my dad back into hunting the last couple of years and he took a four point this year with his shotgun. I also set up a camera on my CB to film my hunts. This years goes down as a good one for me in the books! Also as a bonus my wife started to eat deer meat! She says she loves it!! Its great, I have not bought any beef since November! Sad part is that I will run out of deer some time in the spring I think!

congrats on the 2 bucks,great way to finish season..

we had a lot of big bucks killed this year by kids in archery.

many are8years old kids,killed 10 ,12 and 13 point bucks with compound bows as crossbows are not legal in wmu2g in pa..
i never saw so many bucks killed by real young kids as this year in archery.

i spent 5 weeks of archery and only saw 1 buck and 3 doe.

i had hard year in archery season.:eek:.

RE: how good my season was
 

Congrats on getting your tick toter! Some seasons are better than others. Year before i saw about 40 deer, didn't get any. No good clean shots or too far. This year i took 2 small rackedBucks. So it was good.

RE: how good my season was
 

I was fortunate enough to fill all 3 of my tags this year-2 elk and a mule deer buck. This guy is my biggest elk ever (after 10 years of elk chasing). Nice to get youngsters like you into hunting. My son will be hunting with me for the first timethis year after he turns 12.

RE: how good my season was
 

He looks like he's upset at me, don't he :^)

RE: how good my season was
 

congrats to everyone on their kills (especially the firsts) and DEER HUNTER 125, don't let the misses bother you. when i was your age i bowhunted from a treestand for the first time and missed 6 shots in one evening. (didn't think about the angle changing anything LOL)
