this year started a new job just before the hunting season so had little time to get out, on the days i did I have ran into people gutting deer but haven’t Come across one myself yet, and probably won’t....but it just makes me want to go out scouting for next year that much more.
Just keep fighting the long battle and when you do finally connect it will be worth the wait.  |
This is my 13th year hunting, I'm familiar with tag soup. Had many years where it just didn't happen. Also had years where I get two or three deer. Last five years that I've been working in ft Mac, I have only shot two deer. My biggest frustration is that with the exception of one muley doe draw, I have yet to kill any of my special draws. That includes cow elk, mule buck (twice), and bull moose (maybe twice), unless I fill my tag in the next two days. It is getting frustrating. Burning up 5 years or more of waiting, just to not fill the tag! And it's not for lack of trying, I just haven't been in the right place at the right time yet. One day I'll get lucky!
