I have had a good year but it has been tougher this year. The acorn crop here was very heavy and the deer did not seem to move around and feed as much.

I think I've seen more deer this year than I ever have at this time of year. Had 18 in a food plot Friday afternoon.

BAD YEAR,whats that try this for bad year on our way up to bowcamp some idiot crosses the center line and smack's my camper totaled it
we decide to go up anyway's after we took care of the camper we get up there set up camp that very same night my brother in law light's up the heater in the tent and puff be gone there goes my tent so now I have to sleep in my truck I can deal with that 2 day's into the camp and then the knockout punch while bowhunting I draw on a nice buck and snap my bowlimb breaks hitting me in the face giving me 15 stitches and a ridiculus doctor bill and ending my bowhunting.Finally rifle season I get to go everything going good until opening morning get to my blind,it break's daylight and I hear one coming in and BLAM some trespassing nut not 20 yard's from my blind shot's now if that dont make you bonk your head on the roof of your blind having someone shoot that close a few unchoice swear word's and smashing out of the blind just to see the idiot going 90 miles an hour with a deer in tow
and since then I haven't seen not one %*%()_(*&#@^*deer after that.

Well bow season was the ultimate for me this year, my first bowkill after three bow seasons, gun has been a different story, I had one shot at 25 yards and MISSED!!! First miss in over 20 years, somehow between opening day sight in and then my sights were knocked way off, over 6 inches high at 20 yards and steady climbing the further out it went, still have until Jan 4 so I have not given up at all.

If you'd have asked me that last year I would have concured! but this year has been great.

I shot a beautiful 8 point in November. Seen lots of game and I still have plenty of season left. In addition, I've been lucky enough to do a little waterfowl hunting inbetween deer hunts. Have grounded several greenheads and limited out on geese more than once.

Hope your season picks up.

Absolutley horible! WIND!!! every time moring or evening it has been blowing like crazy.

I had a chance at a great buck but I never heard him coming and by the time I cought him about 40yrds to my right he sented me! Didn't even get my gun up.

Horible as far as no deer but very thank full and happy to be able to get out in to the great outoors.

Happy Hunting.
