I feel your frustration. I hunted 4 different areas this year on two sides of the state. Our season (in both ironically) was from October 1st thru the 9th. I saw a lot of does and one spike, we also have antlered only. Then on the 15th of October our elk season starts, since then I have since 6 bucks, on being a small two point, the rest being decent bucks all 4x4 or bigger, along with one big 3x3 that has found a home in my backyard eating the apples from by crab apple tree. and this summer there were 4 bigger bucks hanging out inside city limits..
