You know what's awesome?....

... sitting on your deck watching a sure enough trophy 10 pointer and a very nice 8 and 8 other deer for about an hour and a half, until you can't stand it anymore so you drive to your hunting property so you can see nothing. THAT's what's awesome!

Tommorrow is the last day for many of us. Good luck all. I've about had it and am glad it's over. At this point, a lone mature doe will get it if one cooperates....

I feel the same way about squirrel hunting. I look out the window at 8 of them, then drive 1.5 hours to the mountains to see 2 in 3 days.

Those aren't the same species of critters.....

In theory, I could. But they weren't standing on my property at the time. Plus, I do enjoy watching them year round.
First time I've seen those two (I may have seen the 8 in velvet). I had JUST cleared a 'viewing' lane through the woods. It paid off big time and the first day.
By the way, they confirmed my contention that the rut 'slipped' by close to three weeks. Got chasing on cams late October, good sign and more chasing late November, and those two were running a doe (Saturday and Sunday).

Yep. It's the only way to live.

The rut was definitely split up this year with the late full moons in Oct and Nov. And there is always a little left over for December.

When I was a kid and used to visit my Uncle down in Bluffton, SC that was his Sat and Sun morning ritual. Sit on the back porch with a M1Carbine and harvest meat. Spent many morning sitting on the porch in the cold with the ole dude. Two, three shots with 110gr soft points and it was meat in the freezer every time.

Guess how many deer I saw this hunting season where I hunt, which is public land 2 hours away.... Zero

I did see a few squirrels, some birds... that's it.
