Had a pretty good season. Used a new to me saddle for several hunts, saw two nice bucks but had no shot on them, both from the same tree, one morning one night. I really like to still hunt on the ground or sit on a padded stool in one spot. The Friday before Halloween with the monsoon washed me out and I missed the next day which was a good one. I was down to late season and on the second day found this big girl, as big as some bucks. I am all about meat so I have no problem taking a doe when bucks are not around. I hunt on private land on Vashon Island and that usually makes it a bit nicer, but its still no easy thing as Blacktail's are not called ghosts for nothing...

 :yeah:
My hunting partner and I call that hitting for the cycle.  :tup:
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

In November U.S. manufacturing contracted for the the ninth consecutive month. Layoffs across the economy are higher than anytime since the pandemic in 2020 and I just read that the Midwest farmers will be receiving a 12B bailout due to 50 year trade relationships being destroyed. I have to admit that I was a sceptic and didn't believe in the effectiveness in tariffs but I'm a believer now.

The first picture is super deceiving. Looks like a good buck, then the second picture shows exactly how great of a buck it is! Congrats
