100 for me here in MD. 8 with the ML and 1 wiwth the rifle. Rifle season was really slow this year for me, but the ML made up for that. I did get to go out with the xbow a few times but never scored. I am definitely not dissappointed!

Overall 60.... Shot my biggest buck yet a good 8 off a property i had little faith in and shot him at 11:30 which I have never hunted past 11 so that was awesome but when I recovered the buck half his rack was broken off so NO MOUNT! saw an even bigger buck last week of the season but couldnt get a shot and shot 3 does, so good season, but wanted my buck mounted maybe next year!

My season was a perfect 100. I went 3 for 3. Filled my bow tag, my rifle bucks only tag and my muzzleloader tag. Were they monster deer?....No, but I got to spend quality time in the woods and saw lots of deer. I've had years that I've taken up to 7 deer and certainly have killed larger bucks but this year my goal was to only take 3, one during each season and I also guided a young hunter to his first muzzleloader buck. That was very satisfying for me and I hope to repeat again this fall.

Archery I'll go with a 25.
Shotgun I'm going to have to say 75-85.
No huge bucks taken but my son is still batting 1000 with a small buck, I got a nice buck and 3 others all banged the same day. Lots of good times with all the guys in camp. The whole experience. Family. Great friends. Great food and lots of it. A few beers around he campfire. Lots of memories to never be forgotten.
Heck - just like last year!

Below average season- 50. I killed 7 bucks, but struggled alot during bow and general gun. My average buck size went down significantly from last year and the average deer sightings went down also. There was just too many oaks dropping acorns everywhere this year
. I still had plenty of opportunities and couldn't capitalize though, so some of it is my fault. I saw alot of spikes and button bucks, so next year should be better

40-below expectations.
I got 2 does. 1 with a bow and 1 with a muzzleloader. I passed up 10 or so bucks ranging from fork horns to 4x4s. Saw a bunch of very nice bucks while bowhunting and on my trip east of the mountains, but wasn't able to get within range. Didn't get my elk, but did see a spike bull that I had to pass on which is a success in my book.

congrats to the guys who think they did very well...as for me ? just having my daughter bag 3 deer this year was good for me...she has spent the last 3 years trying, and with failure comes success....as she failed,she learned.....as she learned,... she practiced to be better.....and when it came down to gettin the job done this year...she fired and filled her very own tags for the 1st year ever..so im a proud papa....and the smile on her face made it one hell of a season for me.
