Single cull buck. Nothing mature roaming my place this year.

Shot one buck that was on our cull list and passed on 2 mature bucks that just weren't quite there yet. Hoping they make it and we get more rain next year.

19 or 20 does. 1 spike. 1 ancient, squiggly 10 a friend shot. 2 months left for MLD. 'Don't really know if anything else will fall. It'll be fine either way.

Got a doe for some freezer meat. Still have a couple months left on MLD so plenty of chances at a decent buck. Actually shot the doe with my dedicated hog rifle. Was waiting for hogs to show up when she came wondering in. So that is a first for me, shooting a deer with a thermal optic (it was around 4:30 pm, so well away from end of legal shooting light.)

I haven’t shot a deer this season. Could have shot a bunch of them but nothing I want so far. Still got 2 more months so anything could happen.

My son did shoot a big bodied mature 6 point so we got some meat.

No shots fired at this time, have not seen a buck big enough shoot. May have to take a doe or two.

I shot a 4 yr old 8 point last weekend, after passing him several times. This is the first time in 15 years, haven’t seen a hog while deer hunting.

Shot a big blonde black bear in June, and a Buffalo in September ( plus a fat sow hog with no piglets my son shot ) so I’m good on meat for a long, long while.

I took two does with archery gear ( one with my recurve and the other with a compound ) and missed a pig with the recurve at 15 yards.

Have not hunted much since deer season started, only sat one time since thanksgiving, the hunting has been below average for my home place in regards to buck movement. I would like to shoot one more animal with my recurve and would be happy it being a hog, but would like to get a shot opportunity. Gonna give it a few sits hopefully this coming week before season wraps up


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

With deer numbers down we are limiting everyone to 3 deer. I got my 3. Doe, spike, and cull buck. I also shot a 9-3/8" tom. I hit him back by the legs with a 30-06 .22 accelerator but it hit a bone and blew up inside his guts. [Linked Image]

Same situation for me this year. Worst season I've experienced on my property in the past 35 yrs.

Still have all my tags thus far!
Neighbors seem to have been having a good time!....Heard a lot of shooting when I did sit, and some of the bigger bucks I saw at the beginning of the season I don't see anymore.
Oh well, when they kill them off maybe they'll stop hunting as heavy, at least for a while.

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

You have a lot of good meat, especially that Buffalo.

I also have not tagged in...I am on a new property and have decided to try and let a couple of good bucks walk in hopes they will be great bucks next year. We definitely have drought induced horn deficiencies. I have two longhorn spikes that I am holding in reserve for late season. Will hunt the last week of December and hope something great...or at least very good...shows up.

Have bagged 8 deer so far, brought 6 home. Gonna try hard for 3 of my kids to bag 3-5 more this season, then it's time for a bunch of processing/sausage making.

Got an invite to go chase yellowfin tuna, so if that works out I'll be in the blue water and not the woods next weekend.

Still have all of mine. Saw over 15 bucks of all ages and none that I was willing to burn my tag on. I did rattle up a buck that I would have shot, but he would not jump the fence and come on our side. Had to watch him walk out of my life. He was a 9 point that was well over 130 inches. I`ve killed 12 hogs since September and not even seeing them any longer. They usually disappear or go nocturnal this far into gun season. I`ve had a great season just being out in the woods and still have another week to go. Hope to get in 3-4 more hunts at least before giving up on using my buck tag.
