Well maybe I wasn’t stupid for sitting through the frozen rain after all. He came sneaking out at about 4:15, I was seriously thinking about quitting a few minutes early as I am leaving for a work tri

He got the pass in bow and then I shot a smaller one.   No pass tonight.  Food it was.  Culver was right, the Barnes expanders tip them over quick. And for Nomads benefit no ATV.   I dragged him 30yds

Well the fat lady has sung on my Missouri hunt. Only one doe dropped by my buddy. We drove through the night and made it back to NY.

It was State Line Bone Mine. Probably wouldn’t use again. Some unsafe treestands and not a lot of buck sightings. Either way it was a fun trip and like you said hunting is better then not hunting!

Maybe rut or pre rut is better? How much was the late season hunt?

1750 for a five day hunt. Lodging and food included. Game care too. But that amounted to the outfitter cutting the deer up and just throwing into a cooler. No vacuum sealing or even wax paper. I’ll do more homework on the outfitter next time. Although his Facebook page reviews are 5 stars.

Yea, you get what you pay for sometimes. $1750 is super reasonable.

My old man took the first buck of his life, a decent 6 or 7 out in East Hampton today. Unfortunately he did it with a Camry. He's fine, Camry has seen better days, deer dead on contact.

Seems weird to me that deer season is still open in spots. Good for those that can still hunt. Color me jealous. 

The thing that felt weird for me was to have 60* temps in January. Even with a 4 month season here, the population is still growing. There are deer in locations that even 10 years ago, you would have never in your wildest dreams thought possible. DEC really needs to bring back the bonus tags that allowed you to shoot a deer of either sex after shooting a doe. Many people would shoot 2 does right out of the gate to get another either sex tag. The incentive is no longer there for people to shoot does and it’s showing.

They need to bring back doe season. Remember when you could only take a doe the first 2 weeks? I heard a rumor that they passed a law giving us February as well but have yet to enact it.

Only thing to control the population is the reduction of does . Making the season longer doesn’t work toward that goal. Incentivizing hunters to kill does does. Extra buck tag? $$$? Open some public park lands to those most successful? Those may get more does down
