I’ve been the ultimate slacker this season. I’ll be honest…. I didn’t hunt for myself one time this year. I did go “wildlife viewing” on several occasions with my bow…. Was more for coyotes & just to watch deer & learn some new spots.
I went out about 50 times with kids, buddies to folks in the final stretch of life & hunting. So- it’s been fun.
I did try to hunt for a buck that’s about 100” …. & 99.999% of the time, he’d be a dead deer. Weirdest thing happened, he vanished for pry 45 days. Showed back up & he’s a half rack. Debating if I still try to get him now.
This was the oldest lowest scoring deer we knew of. So- I was jacked. Until 2 things happened…. He went MIA & then my world was crushed….. an older & smaller one showed up and he got shot the 1st night. Someone beat me to him.
Here’s the bomber I was after & then the 45” 8-9 year old that someone else got…. Robbing me of my season!!!!
One I was after that went mia and now a half rack…

The greatest deer of the season that would have been my dream buck…. Officially scored at 45”. Previous years put him at least 8-9 yo but he could be over 10.5 years old. TBD.

When I rebound from this deep depression of not getting the 45-incher …. I’ll post up some deer we got this year. As of today…. I am planning on eating THREE tag sandwiches.
On my way out the door to Take my boy Charlie out. I love & am good with just being out there. Charlie is good to hunt on his own but I just wanna sit with him. He’s been after 1 Buck & heading out now!!!! Best wishes to everyone!!!!
