Never give up. It's worth the wait.
Didn't get one last year. Went to hunt a new property this year. Saw a couple of does. No shots with the bow.
Yesterday a nice 7 pointer came by at 7:30am. Knocked down with shotgun and off to the butcher!
Best buck for me so far. Highlight of my year!
It is a special person who gets up way before dawn to sit in a tree below freezing and keep coming back for more without even seeing a deer.
You have to be in the woods if you are going to succeed.
My neighbor always say to me "enjoy it while you can!"
Good luck!
