During the WI archery season I shot and missed a doe at 25yds due to a small branch. Didn't see it, until the arrow deflected off it and over the doe's back.
Fast forward to the WI gun season, opening day seen four running full speed, no shot. Second day, was texting a buddy when a doe walks right up behind me at 10yds! Needless to say I was on the ground in the brush anticipating the deer to walk out in front me and missed my shot at this does as well. Now to Wednesday, watching a bedding area I see a doe walking out of the area but not in my shooting lanes. I wait for an small opening at 100yds, squeeze the trigger and missed. Now to the last day of the Wi gun deer season, I've hunted all day and was heading back to the car at 4pm. I look out into the open field and spot two does feeding. Yes my time to take one down. I take aim at the bigger doe at 100yds, squeeze and missed both of them!
The weekend before the gun opener I was shooting 3inch groupings at 50yds, 5inch groupings at 100yds and 200yds with my 12gauge pump with a scope. I'm confident in my gun, just not my luck. lol
Me 0 < 5 Deer
Staying positive since my season doesn't end until Jan. 31 (metro). It's been a long exhausting but interesting season.
Here's a few pics I'd thought I'd share from my in season scouting during the WI gun deer hunt. Enjoy.
My season continues as it started...

I plan to set up on the buck bed atleast once this late season given the right conditions, as well as some others. Still have all my tags, so I'm staying hopeful things will play out for me this late season.
Hunt. Eat. Sleep.
