RE: have put countless hours in the woods
deerhunter1224,
man, I hunted nearly eight years before I even killed a deer, so I know how you feel. Of course, some of that time was learning time so I probably made some critical mistakes, but for the most part, I hunted hard and correctly, I just didn' t have a good place to hunt deer. Or else it was something like I' d have a buck tag and only see does. Really, I was 19 before killing a deer! It takes some time. I probably put 30 hours on stand before killing a deer this season. With some patience, I' ve already taken two this season! Just hang in there. Good luck!

RE: have put countless hours in the woods
Been in the woods this year for four weeks saw plenty of deer but could not shootnthe 2 bucks i saw, they were moving to fast chasing a doe, but yesterday morning was magik 1 hour sitting at the base of a tree and the buck of a lifetime shows up right after i did a fawn bleat 3 times look at the pictures i have posted on my name elmer deer. Alot of patience and time in the woods and a whole lot of luck,especially in a spot thats been hunted hard by a lot of hunters.Just goes to show you the big ones usually die of old age.

RE: have put countless hours in the woods
Yup...been there...done that! I have hunted MANY MANY hours without even seeing a buck! Last year was the worst...I took two weeks off during the rut...no bucks. I hunted for HOURS! I live in NH... in an area with no farms and extensive forests...big woods! Plenty of sign around...but you have to be " in the right place at the right time" . This year was better...got a 6 point. But have been bow hunting since...nothing except a small 4 point. That' s hunting...hurry up and wait on your stand until you' re so cold and wet you cannot stand it any more. Hours and hours.
