Definitely the best one yet. No luck during gun season, but I put an early season doe down and a late season doe down yesterday, both with bow.

It was a good year, I was able to put 4 down including my first buck with a bow. On the other hand, we did not seeany large bucks this year. To much standing corn and warm temps in October didn't help much...

Mine was OK. Severe drought for the last couple of years restricted our antler growth. Poor nutrition meant brittle antlers, and the guys have been seeing a lot of broken tines and broken beams. Body weights are down as well. But, I got a 200 lb boar, a nice little doe, and a 9 point buck that has the 6th highest B&C score taken off our lease out of the 27 bucks taken so far this year.

Not a great one for me. This is the first year I didn't get a big game animal either caribou or elk in the past 6 years and I didn't get a buck for the first time in a while. I did get a fat doe with the smoke pole though so at least I'll be able to eat.

Pretty good for me here in TN. Not the highest number of kills that I'vehad but I did killmy biggest buck yet this year, and with my bow.

Is there ever really a bad one? Just happy to be able to continue to do what I started more than 40+ years ago, hopefully for at least another 15-20.
