For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Looked at a bunch, never fired a shot. Looks like an exotic hunt may be in order for Mrs. B and I.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

For the first year I can remember, I didn’t even buy a Texas hunting license. No Whitetail even targeted this season.
My hunts included archery elk in New Mexico, rifle mule deer in Alberta, and some duck hunting in Louisiana.

Second year in a row I went dry. Last year was health issues, this year I saw the one I wanted a few times but he never gave me a shot.

Came across a few nice ones, but borderline 13"; Zero for me this year.

Zero. Passed on a couple of pretty decent bucks.

I haven't shot at a whitetail in 10 + years. But that may change soon.

Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

Doe and a spike, but no buck. Passed probably five or six that just weren’t quite there.

Doe and a spike, but no buck. Passed probably five or six that just weren’t quite there. And so the legacy of the name continues!

Almost got one in Ohio with my rented Chevy Tahoe! That was exciting.
My botnet is bigger than yours.

This hunting forum is getting so bad the thread should read. “ Who here is a deer watcher and not a deer hunter? Maybe we should give them all another year and see how they turn out.”

On our lease 4 out 6 didn't fire a shot at a deer. We sure feed a lot of deer! We are going to have a bumper crop of fawns it appears only taking one doe my son shot. I only saw one shooter 6:30 am opening morning and didn't have a shot and never went to a feeder all season.
