I'm so jealous of the ones who are taking deer. I'm batting 100 percent again this year. Glimmer of hope is a day hunt in late December.

Got to thinking. Last time I harvested a deer was 2010!!! Holy Moly! !!! Something gotta give lol. Anyone else having the rash of bad luck??

Been a couple years for me too. But spending time with my son outdoors is worth everything.

2013 & 2014, combined, I have only been in the blinds 36-48 hrs. Not by choice. Don't have a lease, don't own land, just go to some day hunt places. S.U.C.K.S. One day I will have my own land. So yeah haven't shot a darn deer in the last two years.

I am. Im only bow hunting. Passed on multiple doe and spike during early bow season. Finally decided to take a shot at a spike and freakin missed. Had a very large buck coming in on me and at 50 yards he bolted when the feeder went off. Took the wife and daughter out during doe days and those days the doe were gone. My 13 yo daughter did get a spike a few weeks ago. Im still hunting though. There are a couple of spikes hanging around so hopefully I can get one. I did manage to get a big hog that came out at 40 yards.

I've spent about 2 dozen days in the beautiful Hill Country and about 8 in the Trinity bottoms. Haven't shot a whitetail but that's twenty or so days I wasn't at work. cheers

... slowly raises his hands X2

I have 6 days during bow season and 6 during gun season with no deer. Had a chance at a mature deer during bow season but moved at the wrong time and got spotted. Seen a couple of AR +/- eights but those get a walk. We are pretty sure we are seeing less deer due to some drought die-offs in Stephens county. Will be back at it the week before Christmas.

Hopefully I have finally learned my lesson this year and next year during bow season I will take the first doe and spike that give me the opportunity.

I haven't killed 1 since 2007. Either I haven't had a lease, or I have been too picky, one or the other. Seen a lot of deer this year, just haven't shot. Will shoot a doe at least this year.
