Well the season is now over, guess I can focus on some fishing and duck hunting. Sucks really. I love hunting big game...

Here's my Archery opener 5x5

Then my Muzzleloader 4x4 with eye guards...

Plus a couple of the other guys in camp had some success too. A nice 3x3 then a big 3x3 with eyeguards that was shot opening day and found 3 days later. Long story short we looked for 6 hours the day it was shot and couldn't find the deer, 3 days later the ravens took us to him.. Sickening really.... We managed to go 5 for 8 with another 2x2 and 2x3 in camp...

Nice deer, but only 6 hrs looking? Maybe there's a reason for not looking the following day? Or did you guys? Not trying to be judgemental, sorry.

In all due respect, I didn't want to write a book about the entire hunt. Yes, we were in there the following morning looking for him for an additional 1/2 day. I knew he was dead in the area as there were 2 ravens working the area but wouldn't give us any specific direction. I shot my buck the 3rd day looking for his day about 1/3 of a mile from where we found his..... When we found his it was a complete 180 from the direction he had last seen it running and .23 miles from the original spot he took the shot on the GPS.
