Seen one doe all day, no shot given. Sitting watching a hill side that’s been getting hit. Good luck everyone!

Doesn’t feel like there is much life in the woods, but entering magic time so who knows?

After the same thinking and about to pull the plug it happened. Zero to hero only takes a minute. Overwhelmed with the big doe harvest with daughter with me.

Didn't see any deer but did see a huge Fisher tonite at 40 yards.  That was cool.  Last hunt of the season tomorrow morn.

Passed on 2 yearlings  tonight got busted by a doe this morning. God I hate north east winds. Have to come up with a better east wind  stand.  Tons of deer spending all day in big open fields . Not much  going on the woods.

Rattled up no less than three bucks this AM.. Wouldn't you know it, all were buttons!   Nice big mama doe hung around, just out of shooting distance. One little guy hung around for at least 30 minutes. I was about ready to give him a name and put a collar on him.  In the end, no shots taken, but had a relaxing couple of hours in the blind.

15’ of para cord and a piece of dead wood does the same thing.......the para cord is tied in a “circle” and in my pocket at all times. Lots of uses including dragging.

Jay, what happened to the deer sled (plastic from the dome)?

That's awesome, Dino!  Finishing in style!!

Hunted a new spot with a buddy tonight, adjacent to their family cemetary!  The land is posted, but people are dying to get in there. 

He never hunted in there before so this was more of a scout and sit.  You know it's going to be a good spot when you step out of the car and into piles of deer poop under an oak tree with tons of acorns.  Scouted a bit then sat til dark.  No deer showed, but plenty of rubs, runs and poop to justify going back Monday.

Back at it this afternoon. Gave this little guy a pass at 15 yards.

I might have a mental problem,i lost three does this hunting season,more than my prior 7 seasons combined. 

That has to be some sort of sad record,i will do a serious re-evaluation of my equipment and skills before next year. 

I value not having my prey suffer,and that has not happened this year. 

This does make me appreciate how things have worked out in seasons prior.

Not sure of i was just lucky or what happened this year.

Before you get back on the horse, think about what happened.  It'll get better........

Check your equipment, go to range in off season to build up confidence. DEFINITELY  check your zero, get used to the recoil.

Dont beat yourself up so bad, stuff happens. The fact that you feel so bad for the creatures you look to harvest is actually GOOD karma. It will come back your way next year!

You sound like a seriously good and sincere guy who has great respect for the sport as well as the wildlife we all love and respect. You really do mean well, I will be praying for you and your family.

Nice weather this morning for a sit.  Nothing but barking red squirrels and a few gray's running around.  Around 9:45am I decided to sneak around a bit, heading over the hill to a big area I can view.  I heard a couple quick snorts and saw flags........they were south of me and that nasty north wind gave me up.  They made a big circle and one stopped in a spot where I could only make out some brown hair.  Finally after a good ten minutes she took two steps and was wide open.  I glassed her quickly with my binos to rule out any little spikes that could screw up my day, all clear, just ears.

I took the shot at about 90 yards and she flopped over.  I started to drag her uphill but after about 60-70 yards I changed my mind and made a call.  My buddy was going to pick me up on the lower road but first I hoofed it back to the truck and left most of my clothes, gun and binos.  Changed boots and headed back down the hill to get her down to the road.

Nice doe, 1.5 years old but maybe older.  Didn't weigh her because if I did, I'd have to tell you.

Not a fawn, thankfully.
