I got a decent doe during early muzzleloader and a smaller doe a few days later with my bow. The regular gun season here in the northern tier was horrible all I seen for bucks was a handful of spikes. Overall not my worst ever but certainly not one of my better seasons. Going down for Christmas to NC to see my boys I'm hoping to get a few hunts in with my youngest down there.

Sorry to hear about your bad year mine wasn't a whole lot better. I'm eating my Buck tag for the first time in quite awhile. It seems most people I know and or have talked to didn't have good years. I'm not sure where you're located but if you're ever interested in making a trip up north to the tug hill area I'd be happy to meet up with you and show you around. I just got back Saturday night from a hunting road trip where I got to meet and hunt with a current member of the site. I had a great time and am looking forward to meeting up with him again next year.It continued to rain right up until I went to bed last night, and I woke up to about 3 inches of snow. That figures! It is exactly the way my entire season went this year. I spent many hours out there this season and it was the most uneventful I can remember. Other than the little spike I passed about three times, a small doe, a momma with her medium sized fawn, and what I believe was a nice buck who escaped being shot thanks to heavy rain, fog and low light making it impossible to get him in my scope, it was a deer desert for me this firearm season.
I think I may be done for the year. If I have not been able to even get a deer within rifle range since bow season, I don't expect things to change and have me get within bow range, and I have almost zero confidence with my muzzle loader so I always restrict it's use of that to bow, or at the most shotgun range.
One thing is certain. If I do not decide to sell my place by next year, I plan to totally brush hog every acre of field next year and return it to what it once was. Also, I may finally try to find myself a new hunting partner. Since my Uncle who had been my hunting partner since around 1976 when he returned to the area after he had retired from the Army passed a few years ago, it just has not been the same for me. I still get out there and hammer it pretty hard, but it feels like just going through the motions.
Good luck to those out there today in the snow.

Out on the hill for a hunt with my son. These hunts are pretty special to me wether we see anything or not. He lives in NC and is up for Thanksgiving and we only get a few hunts in together each year now. Good luck to everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!

Ended up staying on the hill and had a little encounter with a one point at 10 yards as I was sitting on the ground. Looks like a spike but one side either busted off or never grew. Nothing I would shoot but still kewl being that close to them.

Heading back up to the hill for a mid morning sit then if l have no luck it's off to my private lot for the last few hours. Good luck to those going out.

Not much action on the hill until it started to snow pretty good that seemed to jump start em. I only seen one running through a patch of hardwoods but couldn't tell what it was but heard quite a few shots.

Heading up to the hill shortly going to try a mid day sit from 10-2. I've never specifically targeted these hrs but I have heard lots of hunters who swear by them. I'm guessing one reason why would be all the hunters getting up from a early morning sit are pushing them around. If no luck I'll come out for lunch and then go to another spot for the last cpl hrs of light. Good luck to all those out.

I tried to and he took off rather quickly. I'm pretty sure he was from one of the neighboring properties.Let the games and excuses begin! Did you confront the trespasser? "I always hunted here." "I got lost." "I know the owner and he gave me permission." "I didn't know it was posted." "I didn't see the signs." "You don't have it legally posted." etc.
