Slow going….
« on: November 01, 2023, 02:10:37 PM »
Wow this is an off year so far.  Deer are extinct where I normally find them.  Blue bird skies and bright moon aren’t helping, but still, acute lack of sign isn’t making me think they are around.  If I was still doing my 500 count, I’d be behind.

I'm guessing there are folks on here that are almost happy to hear that.  I can just hear people say "Finally!  Bone knows what it's like to be normal"  :chuckle:

In all seriousness, not a great deer year.  Seems age class lower and just less in general.

I saw a couple good bucks today down low chasing a doe. Last year there were only dinks in this area. One luke warm doe can sure change the landscape in a hurry.

I got a good one tonight.   Best of all, it’s not quite as chilly tonight.  Have a good hunt.

This is Bones version of the drag out teaser story of those who killed good critters.  :chuckle: :chuckle:

👍 like I said, it goes against my grain but under the circumstances it’s something I need to do.

When Bone's not finding deer, that's not a good sign.  :yike:
