I spent the end of last week and the weekend chasing a nice 3 1/2 8pt with g2 and 3s that are 9-10". Saturday he didn't like my doe decoy and skirted me at 42 yards. Thursday I likely misjudged a nice 9pt with long tines. He was probably only 15-15 1/2" inside but really nice from the side. He appeared to be a 3 1/2 but I couldn't make up my mind so I let him walk. The property that I hunt has a rule that if you shoot him, he goes on the wall so $500 was waying heavy on my mind.

Got out today for a hunt. had 5 of us out there. I pushed the bush to the guys in the stands and one of them got a nice small eight point. After the excitement calm down and we cleaned up, we finished for the day about 1. And that concluded my rifle season since I'll be working for the last 3 days of it. Now onto bow season and possibly muzzle loader.

Our 9 day gun season is over. My brother's coyote was the only shots fired. Pretty slow for buck sightings but several neighbors took deer as they are less than selective. One group has 12 hunters on 80 acres of bedding area. Doesn't fair well when they are continually bumping deer to other neighbors. But they can't get em all.

We'll be out filling the freezers with the muzzleloaders and the late antlerless hunt in December. I will likely eat my buck tag unless a real nice one comes along. All other bucks will get a pass since they made it through our crazy gun season. They have a better chance of getting hit by a car now than killed by another hunter.

So with "late season" hunting pretty much starting up now, who is hitting the woods for December?

Looks like the contest could be close again so anyone able to put a doe up would help the team and fill their freezers at the same time. Anyone know if Waterfowler posted his deer yet? I didn't see it. Those are huge points. Its been a fun year and everyone did a nice job so far.
