Default Ok, who's still going out?

All I have got with my trad gear this year is araccoons and a squirrel. So I have 2 more weeks to get it done, I just got over a cold, so lets go hunting. Good/bad news is I have no room left in the freezers.

Saturday morning is our last day of the season. I will be out half a day with recurve in hand. I’ve been shooting it much better than the longbow lately so we’ll go with the hot ticket.

Deer season ended without me killing my first trad deer. I did however make my first kill with the recurve, a feral hog. I will continue hunting hogs until it gets so hot I just can't stand it. I won't take the recurve with me every time I go but it will be the most used bow in the stable for the next few months.

I've a few more weeks to give it a go.... I've had a good season, only killed one doe, but I did miss 3 others

Probably hunt this Saturday and the next and then call it a year......

I got all these new toys this year and wanted to use em all. And spent too much time during rut when I would see 5 deer every morning with a new compound, and then spent too much time with a new pistol during gun, and now, I am concentrating on trad. I took it out 5-7 times only and hunted from the ground. I still do not shoot well from a treestand with my longbow. I need to get some groundblind material. Sometimes I would go stalking and see deer out at 30 yards. Just missed opportunities this year.

I tagged two deer this year with my trad bows. I took a hog last sat. The pic is on my phone, so soon as I upload it ill put it here. I never put my bows up. We have endless hog hunting here in Texas. Every time I need pork, I go out and arrow a hog. I shot this last one for a campout later this month.

I had a great season early on (deer, fox, raccoon, and squirrel with my longbow, rabbit with my selfbow), but have barely hunted since late October--business has been wide-open, plus trying to add on to my shop has put a real bind on my time in the woods. Hope to spend a few hours in the stand the next two weeks though.

Ya'll talking about hogs is killing me. Two of my best friends and myself started doing a hog hunt once a year a couple years ago, but it looks like the place we were going may not be available this year. Any advice on where 3 guys can chase hogs cheap with stick and string?

I'll be heading out here in Ohio. Still hoping for a doe with trad gear. Got my buck earlier in the year with a shotgun.
