Seems I have very little time to surf my favorite hunting sites anymore.. life is hectic Hope things are going well for everyone.. So far I've shot 3 doe and a Buck all but one doe with my bow. Had Mr. Harmon and two guys from Georgia up to the "corn crib" farm for 6 days for opening weekend of shotgun/firearm/rifle season ( LOL ). wow was if fun but I am still tired Shot a horse headed doe 2nd week of October at the Crib farm , hunted for an hour and a half is all until the GA boys came up...  www.dropbox.com/home?preview=IMG_20161012_024726507.jpgThen shot a pretty good buck with my bow on October 20th, had cut down a bunch of tall thistle that had grown up making it impossible to see the deer moving through the field just the day before. was hoping it didn't bother the deer and man did it NOT.. saw 13 deer that night, most ever at this property in 6 seas www.dropbox.com/home?preview=Screenshot_20161021-103809.pngons hunting there.  |

Sounds like you have had an eventful season. Me personally, I've had some small one close during bow season, tagged out at a park hunt in about 15 seconds, and got to see a 17 point giant taken from the opposite side of the block of woods we hunt. Season has been fun.

No complaints. Been wanting to harvest a deer while hunting from the ground without a blind.Thursday I was fortunate enough to cross that off my list. Looking forward to some cold.

Pretty good so far. Shot one small doe with my xbow and a big ol doe during my park hunt. Had a chance at a decent 8pt during bow but couldn't get him to stop long enough for a shot. Haven't seen much in the line of buck activity though. Every year I at least eye a couple really good bucks but they've eluded so far

Pretty good so far: 2 deer from Big Oaks, 9 point opening evening of fire arms, and a buck and doe on a park hunt. Now I'm trying to seal the deal on my Ohio tags and get my daughter her first in Indiana. These Ohio deer are driving me crazy. I've seen 3 big bucks, but can't never get the stars to align just right.

I got lucky and picked a spot that was an "X". No giant buck. I got a doe and twins, but my freezer has meat and I did as the park asks. |

Have not shot anything but seen a lot of deer every time out. I'm looking for a good buck and one doe. But I really like hunting in muzzleloader season the best. Colder temps and can let my deer hang longer. No wind here, this morning headed out to same spot I was in last night.

Pretty decent so far,only been out twice and saw 2 bucks and 3 does,shot a 15 point buck the 2nd time out. Now going to try for a doe but if I don't get 1 that's fine,1 down is good enough anyway.

We saw good numbers during archery and JDUB and I both have 1 in the freezer so I'd say we are having a good season.

Can't complain. My daughter was able to get her first deer with a compound- a button and a small buck. I took a doe with my bow also and did it with her in the stand with me which was another first for us.
I've just been waiting for the right one since. Was fortunate to kill a good deer in Kentucky last weekend and back to chasing an Indiana buck to wrap things up. I've only seen 1 deer from the stand that was what I wanted and wasn't able to get a good shot off. That was this past Tuesday, I'll be back in there in the morning.

Use to take several deer per season, usually 4 but now I just take one buck per season. One year I took 6 deer from three different states but that was several years ago. One is plenty for me these days.

Passed on a small forky 4 pointer and couldn't get a good shot on a small doe with xbow. Had a bolt hit a limb and missed a nice big doe. Missed a 8-10 pointer on gun opener that appeared and then disappeared while I was taking a leak. Haven't seen much since then as of 11/21.
