[QUOTE="rifle02, post: 5791354, member: 20050"] No, I'm not talking about my hunting life. I'm 71 years old and plan to keep on for many years. I'm talking about the 2023 season. I got to say it's the best season I've had in several years. I hadn't killed a buck since Thanksgiving of 2020. I always kill at least two deer that my wife and I eat. It has been does for a few years. Thanksgiving day this year I killed two does in the morning. Just getting that part of the business out of the way. Friday the day after Thanksgiving I saw an awesome buck and for some reason did not shoot. 10 minutes or so later I killed a 10 pointer who was nothing special but I have never killed a 10-pointer before so I was happy about that. On my own property that I have had for 2 years now I have not killed a buck and I've actually seen very few bucks it's a small property. Yesterday, Wednesday I sat in an elevated blind watching my pitiful little food plot that I have struggled with. With about 15 minutes of daylight left they started trickling out nibbling on the winter wheat, at least I think that's what it is I planted a mix and very little of it grew. This is in a different unit than where I killed two does a few weeks ago so I could still kill a doe in this unit. I did not want to I really wanted to harvest a buck on my own property.
