Close of GA '22/'23 Deer Season

[colts]

Got 1 decent buck during the rut. 3.5 year old 10 pointer. Wanted to let him grow…but I knew none of my neighbors would…so,down he went. Passed a bunch of (small) does & small bucks..then this weekend..I got skunked. Nothing. Sucks cause we wanted 1 more for the freezer.!

I know the feeling. We had a nice ten point. Always passed and fed. He showed up on the neighbors camera this year. Three days in a row. The fourth day his teenage son scored a 140” Pope and Young. Its a gamble, but that buck went to a really good place. Im very happy for the kid.

Shot a similar one last year, neighbors wasn’t gonna let him walk with all the gunshots every year. Total for this 22-23 season was 4 does and 1 young buck. Gave one doe to a family with little, another to a Vietnam vet who didn’t kill any this year, and the other 3 help with out grocery bills for our family of 6. Good year! Now it’s time to kill some squirrels that were causing me anxiety during deer season.

Holy crap really nice 8 pointers. I’ve got one that roams around here I’m trying to get but he’s a 3am buck year round.

I had another great time in the woods this year and filled a few tags and the freezer

I had a great season. My son shot a doe and missed another. My Wife and daughter only hunted once due to busy schedules.

I shot one with my bow, a decent 7 point buck with my rifle and filled my second buck tag with a 150-165# cowhorn spike.
I killed a coyote with my rifle as well.

I still have the extended archery season to hunt, hopefully i can get my Son on another deer before the end of the month. We will be putting a hurting on some squirrels in the coming weeks.

Theres a good number of Woodcock that have migrated to my lease, hoping to get a few of them before time runs out too.

Thats pretty cool. We get to watch them once in a while. Its usually late evening when they come out, so its hard to see them.

Crappiest season ever.
Super busy with foster kids, poachers and neighboring corn baiters drove all the deer to the Cheater piles of corn they call hunting these days and to top it off Wife got diagnosed with some really bad cancer.
Got one doe.
I’ll call this my SHTF season.
