I've sat right at 20 times since season opened, but I'm really just getting started here. Will go to some public where the rut should be a little closer to starting this weekend and then back home to my private next weekend which is when we typically start seeing pre rut activity.

Have 8 days where I will hunt all day, and 4 mornings between now and January 1.

Then the 4 weekends in January will be split between trying to catch the secondary rut and chasing ducks.

Still hunting when I get the chance. Gets difficult in December.

Shot a buck but did not recover it and think it is still running around.

Want to fill a tag still!

I've got a pocket full of tags and an empty wallet!

I'd like to get one more deer down so I have meat all year. This has been a sub par season for getting onto a decently sized buck on my end. Gearing up for late season.

All done for the year - can't justify another $250 and 12 hours of driving to go shoot a doe - season ends in SC Jan 1. My season ended Nov 6.

What is left of 5 in the freezer - little southern deer. Might have 100# of meat. We eat it 2-3-4 times a week. I gotta get out fishing so I can offset my venison consumption.

****

Go get him Jeff!

You had a good year BigHunt. Doesn't look like you will be starving this winter. ;)

I'm a weekend warrior now. But I'd love to get another one in the freezer.

I have 2 Michigan buck tags left. Punched tags in Ohio and Kansas, and a private land doe tag in Michigan but neither on the caliber of deer I was after.

Really regetting passing up a chip shot on a nice Michigan buck early October. Then I lost a great one early November. This year has been really challenging.

I'm hoping to get out 5-7 more times for some late bow action, but late season is probably the weakest part of my game. I'll give a go regardless.

Congrats to everyone who's filled tags and good luck to everyone still grinding.

Taking a short break after gun season for family and other weekend plans then back at it around Christmas and depending what happens will keep grinding as long as I can. Still hoping to get something this year.
