Congrats!

Season over? What about 6 day firearm, permit shotgun, permit muzzleloader or winter bow? Just curious as to why your season is over.

Again, awesome! Congrats!!

I'm a bow hunter brother. Winter bow I'll be out but I'm basically done. May get out for another doe but. 6 day does nothing for me. My main thing is sheds this winter now.

Have fun with the shed hunting. I shot a winter bow buck mid January of this year and he still had his headgear.

I just like hunting bucks, whatever the tool. Since I get firearms license for permit shotgun and mz, I can hunt 6 day. I can legally use archery equipment for those 6 days. That's what I usually do. Try to stay greater than 50 yards and less than 150 yards to buildings.

Again, congrats!

Bigburner that a great buck. I'm very aware of what's in them reeds! Did you know the reed deer in that area have Wisconsin genes? At one point there were no deer here. Dupont brought deer in from Wisconsin to keep their fenced in compound scrubs trimmed back. Eventually jersey deer expanded to the reeds and Dupont was aloud to release excess deer from the compound. It explains alot about the deer in that area.

Great attitude. I too enjoy the serenity of the Makers creation. The harvest is the icing on the cake.

That's awesome. I did not know that. My grandfather worked for DuPont. My Dads side of the family is from Pennsville and my brother still lives there. I'll have to see if my Dad knows anything about that.

Nice work! Paddling out by moonlight would be sweet. I know walking out deep in the marsh on a bright moon is on of the treats the outdoors has to offer!
