…your sister has killed a deer, and even my assistant has killed a deer. Me?! What have I killed? Time. Lots and lots and lots of time.
Let's leave the ranch and head home. Oh sure. Lookie here. The biggest buck I have ever seen standing in the middle of 1077. Look at him looking at me. Wow. He's a big mature 8 or 9 point…oh…is that a 10th point I see? Wow. It's like he's playing chicken with my truck. Look at him bound over the fence. So beautiful the way he leaps - the huge muscles rippling under his skin.
Odd. He's headed right for my place. I hope he enjoys all the corn I've left for him and the countless women that tend to his needs.
Goodbye, biggest deer I've ever seen. Have fun in the middle of the day on the ranch. I'm going to go look at pictures of my assistant's big buck she killed this weekend.
I like hunting. I kill stuff - like time. I love time.

You'll get your buck sooner or later just gotta keep on keepin on. lol, but if your assistant got an assistant you'd hear about the one they got first. Hang in there it'll happen. I'm sitting at zero too with the main buck I was looking forward to seeing this year shot on a neighboring property during bow season.

Feel you pain Bander... But that's why they call it hunting, not harvesting (except on HF places).
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

What's worse...the last 15 hours I've sat out there I've seen nothing. Like NOTHING nothing. And my assistant doesn't even hunt and I have to listen to her stories about the deer she killed Saturday.

My son goes out with me for his first time and get a very nice 8 and a spike. Also sees several doe's. I go out 6 times since then and see nothing. Haven't even gotten any pics of deer on the TV since then . What the heck?
If I'm not hunting something I must be dead.

At least you know he's out there, and no one else got him. You took care of everybody else, next time you go by yourself

I've got 2 boys that like to hunt and we can only eat about 3 per year. I may never "get" to kill another dear again.

I love your post. My two daughters and my wife all hunt. I generally get a doe, every few years. This year it all came around and I got the buck of a lifetime. I had to wait for my daughters to graduate college and be out on their own. I have posted this before, "If the women in your life hunt, you might never shoot a deer again, but you will never go hungry."

Two years ago I took my youngest son out for his first quality buck after several does. BOOM!!!! 9-point of a lifetime. I killed two does.
Last year I hunted my behind off. Killed a couple of does but - as always - I'm looking for a nice hill country buck. Nothing earth shattering - but a beautiful mature buck. On the very last weekend here comes a quality 8-point and I'm thrilled. BOOM!!!!! I'm pumped.
Homey had gotten stuck in a fence, had shaven his leg all the way to the bone, and was literally rotting to death. Moved him to the gut pile - hunting season ruined.
This year my oldest son and I watched the game cameras religiously. 2 really nice 9s and a really wide 8 were regular visitors for many months. Logic says one for him, one for me. Sunday of opening weekend…BOOM!!!! He drops a 9 as his first buck ever. He's so pumped.
I'm thinking - 'OK - I have fulfilled the father-son destiny. Time for a quality deer for dad.'
Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick…
Not even a doe…
HOPEFULLY this Saturday evening/Sunday morning a group text goes out amongst the herd. "Hey - that idiot has given up…let's roll…"

I popped in for a visit yesterday morning before work and saw absolutely nothing. Here I am again this evening...grrrrrr
Good news: Something FINALLY showed up to eat all the corn that has been piling up the last month (and sprouting no less).
Bad news: It could've been the dove. They are everyfreakingwhere.
Worst news: The neighbor did a controlled burn today. There have been people all over his place all day.
Can you photoshop meat in your freezer?
Hopefully I can at least see a 5 month old fawn. That'd be such a thrill.

Nice buck!!
Saw the wide 8 tonight but it was just a little too dark. I might could have killed him but I wasn't 100% confident so I didn't take the shot. Man I hope he's back tomorrow morning.
