I had a rough year hunting wise. First season with 2 kids, with the youngest still being under a year, made it tougher than I expected. I only got around a dozen sits. But I saw deer more than 50% of the time.
Like everyone else, early season (bow and muzzleloader) was fine. Never saw any mature bucks on my sits, but I hunt primarily public. Did see some young ones that I let walk.
I let way too many does walk. And of course, the only deer I shot was the one I should've let walk. Made some rookie mistakes early that cost me shooting opportunities (I blame it on the kids lol).
I'd like to find somewhere to hunt closer to home. A 3 hour round trip now is just harder to do, but maybe as the kids get older it'll get a little easier.
Be thankful for the time you get to hunt. Be thankful this state has good public land in comparison to our Southern neighbors. I'm thankful for the meat that I have and will learn from my mistakes. Bout all we can do.
For now, I'm going to stay warm, work on some letters to some farmers, and re-calibrate my bow/arrow/broadhead set up (after getting my golf swing back tuned up).
