its not about just shooting a deer

[vizslas]

well to be honest for me it is all about shooting deer. i surely don't go to the supermarket just for the ambience. If i didnt get a deer i would consider it a disastrous season. hope the healing goes well. i am waiting for deer season to be over with before i have rotater cuff surgery. i wouldnt afford the time from my shopping for surgery.sure being in the woods is the best but without the harvest your just a hiker

Lol.. Well I  guess I'm just a tree hugging hiker this year..unless a nice buck shows up before the end of next Sunday . .1st year in 25 I have gone without a deer..Also 1st year I wasn't  hungry either. I still have a deer vacuum packed in freezer I'm still working on . I do have a really itchy trigger finger though.. Who knows what may go  down during the last weekend of mzl..

I have been there.  Last year i suffered with a double ear infection , first week of October i didn't even get in the woods until November. It was a one deer year. Hunting was tough last year for me .I hate being just a tree huger. Thank goodness for vacuum sealers. best-est invention ever next to my muzzle loader

Best of luck with your recovery!  I go in Jan 3rd for right knee replacement, then three months later, my left.  Hope to be 100% by next October.  Most people I know who have gone this route have been extremely happy they did!  Keep us posted on your progress and again, good luck!

I agree it's not just about getting meat in the freezer. This year was a memorable year and I am blessed to have the opportunity and the ability to hunt with my friends and son. Some of my most treasured memories are hunting with my dad and brother, hopefully someday, my son will look back and say the same. We managed two put two doe in the freezer.

Ice is your friend - you can't ice too much.

Going next Monday for my 2nd.

This year I had the opportunity to harvest a few doe but no buck. So no blood.

But on the positive side I hunted with my 16 year old 5x & glad he chose to spend quality time with his old man rather than hang with friends & watch TV or who knows.

i know for sure next season there wil be more meat in the freezer but again the memories I have with my son 20 feet up in the stand are more valuable than zero harvest....
