Deer Hunters...
Deer Hunters...
It's 5 am and time to ride over 2 counties to chase the elusive whitetail in the rain. couldn't get out for opening day but hopefully they will be snoozing today because there wasn't any hunting yesterday in the place i'm headed for - anyone else do any good this year so far?

I haven't been able to make it out yet either this season. I can't get away from school long enough to go. My future father-in-law has been out a few times but hasn't taken anything down yet. Hopefully I am going to get soem time over the christmas break to go. We'll see....
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
illusive 30 point buck
rubs all the way upp and down trees as high as six feet but no sight of the 30 pointer
last day of season in southern missouri, weather has been too warm but since it is finally cooler maybe today will be the day
no fair, you've got those corn fed deer
that's a real nice one 
no luck today - it's either sex in wva but the only clean shot i had was a smallish doe with two bambis, i'm not that hungry, saw about 4 or 5 others but i was in heavy brush and couldn't get a shot
and of course, while i was **relieving** myself a big buck popped over a ridge and pranced along the skyline just until i could pick up my rifle ,LOL
then it started snowing a little, the windchill went down to about 20, and i didn't have on my heavy hunting clothes so i hung it up for the day
i did find a big scrape about 5 ft off the ground, though - our season closes sat and i'll be away visiting relatives until then - i guess i could go back during black powder season, though i usually can't get in to my place in the snow

isn't that always the way, I was on my way to the deer stand one year , started to step over a log and up stands this huge buck , stuck his big butt in my face and off he went ........I aimed and still had the safety on and no bullet in the chamber ......by the time I got done shaking he was long gone , but I could still hear him laughing.......
never saw another thing the rest of the season except for about 50 wild turkey thought serious about trying for one of them but I knew that would end the deer hunting, so we went without meat that season...........I think all the critters just gang up on us during hunting season
