I have been hunting hard since Oct 1st. Been bit by mosquitos, ticks, ground bees. My truck has been a total wreck of hunting clothes, ammo, bug spray, drinks and crackers. Went here when I should of been there, you know the drill. Dog hunting every Sat with my club, still hunted every afternoon I could and did it all with my 2 boys when they could go. Only killed 3 this year, let a lot walk hoping for something better. Guess I will be chasing the bushy tails now. Richard A

I'm kind of glad it's over here in WV. You get burnt out, but you can't help but go. It's nice to sleep in on the weekends. Now... turkey season is right around the corner.

Yea the bushy tails will keep you busy for awhile and will kinda take away the shock of not going deer hunting. Give it a few days and you will miss going but when you see a nice buck while bushy tail hunting it really hits ya.

Glad to see it come, and glad to see it go.

Amen. Now I can concentrate on the obsession /frustration of catching huge catfish. Summertime seems to be the only time when I am not going NUTS.

 

[Sea-Ya]

I'm ready to take a break from it and start getting my fishing stuff together.I had a good year with the 8 and 11 point trophies and two does.

 

[BLUEYZWAITN]

me too, I as every year neglect to do the things I need to now I am backed up and wondering where to start... Deerhunting is a Drug and I can't seem to kicked the Habit


Thank God I love it and i'll do it all over again next year...

Hope you all had a great year and a better one next

I know the feeling the dogs are worn out and so am I .........have to go back to work to get some rest!...........well will be running the Rabbit Beagles next

 

[J.DAUGHTREY]

I am over deerhunting this season,been at it since Oct 1 and am burned out.My hounds are over it also.They are missing hair from staying in the thickets going round and round.I am glad I dont have beagles,to hell with driving a dog in the woods.Anyway my son got his first and I didnt kill what I wanted but passed up a few that most would blow down,now if they make until next year might have something.Will be in the woods with my bunny busters till end of febuary.

 

[Finfever21]

Definitely glad its over missed a few nice ones but it happens. Now its time to focus on fishing getting everything ready for togs, flounder, cobia and OFFSHORE!!

Well I'm not ready for it to be over. This is the least I have hunted in a long time. I took 2 weeks to bow hunt and it down poured the whole first week. Saw alot of scubs and small does but I was looking for horns. I did get a nice 6 pt opening day of blackpowder but I missed all of Nov gun season except for 2 half days due to commitments w/ my BBQ business and a cousin getting married. Who the hell gets married in huntin season! In fact I really didn't get into the woods until the 2nd Sat in Dec and by that time the club had pretty much wiped out all of the deer on our property. I hunted almost everyday the last 2 weeks and although the club did kill a few I didn't see the first deer in front of a dog the whole 2 weeks. Richard, I think we hunted the powerline peice and Ducks everyday. The only deer I saw was 1 doe on a man drive that came out of a thicket w/ afterburners on high and jumped the neighbors fence. I took two long pop shots at her w/ no luck. I guess I'm glad dog season is over. It's fun for a while but I'd rather still hunt. I actually can't wait til Oct. Bring on bow season!!

Don't knock the little guys for some applications. I love the long legs, but not in a 30 acre piece. I wish I had a few more good short one's.

If you think about it, hunting never ends. Now we have to take down stands, prep for new stands, do some shed hunting and get ready for next year. I took a nice 8 pointer with the bow and 3 does during the dog season. My son bagged a doe on Thanksgiving day and missed acouple others. All in all a great season and looking forward to next year because I had to miss my annual trip to Kentucky and will be going back this fall.
