[CamoGator]

1.) Saw my neighbors shoot a palmated 9pt I had been watching all summer long on the second day of the season.
2.) Hunted with my wife all the way till gun season to get her a deer and she had chances at 3 big 8's but couldn't calm the nerves to shoot.
3.) Took my 4 year old girl hunting for her first time ever and was finally able to fill the freezer on a 2.5yr old screwed up 6pt, which made my little girl hooked for life being able to see deer and witness a harvest.
4.) This season could have gone way better if some things had gone our way but starting my little girl out and seeing her the happiest she's ever been while in a stand makes up for it all.

I haven't put a deer on the ground this year shot at one during bow season but missed but I have had so much fun hunting its all worth it.

Don't give up hope just yet. Gonna try and turn it around for you.
