Gah!!! I went hunting six times and no dead deer to show for it. I have shot at least one deer every year since 2004 so this is a shock. No meat in my freezer. No horns. No luck. How many days away is next season? Let me see, one...two...three...


Texas is better.

I hunted every weekend, except one, and didn't kill a deer.

Come to think of it, I haven't killed one since the monster in 2010.

I took one doe on the afternoon of Opening Day less than 30 minutes after climbing into a new stand site for the first time. But after that, I did not see any bucks greater than two spikes all season long.

For some reason, I just could not get into the swing of it this season. Hunted a lot but just didn't feel I had that many "good" hunts.

I only shot one and hunted probably 150-200 hours. Watched some doe and a big spike a few times. I did get my buck though.

I hunt in Hardin County!!! I was unable to get back in to my area on lease early in the season due to 8 inches of rain flooded out my part of lease and I couldn't get in!!! The bucks went nocturnal when I was able to go back to hunting on my break on Dec 20th!!! Saw plenty of does but illegal after Dec 1st!!!

I hunted only 6 or seven morning this year. Didn't kill or see one deer. I'm not in a crazy good area, but I've always seen something in years past. Had to resort to taking a pig and a few coyotes...

I haven't shot a deer in over 5 years. I've got some catching up to do I guess.

I hunted four times in Burnet county close to Marble Falls and twice in Eastland just north of Ranger. Just to clear my name, I would have shot a doe if I saw one and no, I don't fall asleep in my stand...much.
