deer hunting

[dutchhunter]

just wondering were are all the deer hunting reports .It seems that we are not hearing very much from all the deer hunters this year .very few reports from the controlled hunts as well as only a few from the northern rifle hunts ,Are guys just not hunting this year or are thy just not getting any deer or are thy just not reporting in on the internet anymore .things have changed over the years with negative comments about blood and tags in photos .who knows " I enjoy reading about all the great hunts that we see hear over the years but this year thy seem to be lacking .anybody have any ideas Dutch

Will this year was a bust for bucks in my gang. There are 10 if us and not one buck seen let alone shot at. Saw some doe and 4 taken 3 mature and 1 yearling. I personally saw 9 deer over 5 days which is a little low for our area but the weather wasn't cooperating very well. Great to get out and walk the bushes tho. I would post some pics but never had any luck doing it.

Its been slow for me. Only seen 9 deer total. Took a shot at a doe in the controlled and missed high. Have had over 20 sits with the bow, closest ive come is having a 6 pt at about 10 ft to my right, but no shot through the thick brush around me.

4 deer for 6 hunters, taken opening morning. Didn't see much after that, but saw nocturnal sign.

I was able to take 2 does about 45 seconds apart... my first and second deer ever.

I was out last night 3-530....set up on a hardwood ridge in between a bedding area and a standing corn field. Had a doe and fawn come trotting by me at about 75 yds heading to the corn around 4:35...around 4:40 the big boy showed up falling the does tracks, he came as close as 58 yds to me, i got a great look at him, but he never came closer then that. 8 more yards and i might have taken the shot with the Excalibur, tough to make out how many points since it was snowing and windy, but man he was a shooter for sure...going back out tonight, hopefully he stays with the doe cause she beds down in the same area almost every night (see her and others lots this fall) , also the snow hasn't changed much in my area, the rut seems to be on still!

We also got 3 bucks up north in the rifle hunt in November, 1st week. a spike, a 8 point and a 10 point.

1 doe within range, in my freezer

3 deer out of range during legal shooting

2 deer snorted about 50 yards away

Fiancee saw 2 small does within range but an unsafe direction


That is all for us, lucky to get that one doe I think, luckier to get it ourselves, mmm venison
