I got this big ass 8 point opening morning,,I never seen him around here before so he must have wandered to far from his home

there is a bigger one points wise hanging around but after all the shooting yesterday he may be no more but if he is I sure wouldn't mind making it a 2 buck season

You killed Bambi? Don't post it on social media or the libs will eat you alive.

Michigan guy here.

I was out hunting almost every day on my property but in the end, no shots, no kills. I even went out today twice for about 5 hours total during miserable weather.... nothing....

No biggie. I'll try again during antlerless season. I'm a meat hunter, not a trophy hunter.

Holy sheeet if my sister saw that picture she would have a frigging stroke.
I think she gave half the family estate to save the whales.

My trail camera is picking up,very few deer right now. Those that are moving through have gone nocturnal.

Antlerless rifle season opens up on 12 December. I spent some time during the breaks hardening my deer blinds.

Nice work. Now for the cooking...

Season is almost over. No deer for me yet. There has been a significant lack of deer in this area. Or maybe I'm just a terrible hunter!

A neighbor wounded a deer a couple days ago, made almost no effort to find it and gave up. Jerk. I stumbled across the animal today on my property. It was clearly injured. I wanted to put it down and didn't even care about the meat. Sadly, I was unable to get close enough before it ran off.

I bought a .308 at the beginning of the season, but have actually went back to shotgun slug given the thick brush and heavy snow. There's no shot over 50 meters in these conditions.

Looks like I got skunked this year: no deer. It wasn't for lack of trying. I still had a good time out in the woods even if I did come back empty handed.

A buddy talked me into trying squirrel hunting. He claims it's the most delicious wild game meat you'll ever eat. I'll give it a shot.

I'll be out of town so gave my buddy thumbs up to hunt my property. Hopefully his luck (and skill) are better than mine.
