Well guys- having a rough go and for the first time; losing drive.
Our (NY) season opened the 15th and the weather has sucked- shifty winds almost everyday with 2/3 of them being 20mph or higher...driving rain....nothing good, even for a go getter.
I have seen 2 shooters- one this am about 20 minutes before i could use my peep- so depsite finally drawing backon a slammer- it went no where. The little guys are all wound up- but the big guys seem super recluse due to the weather and every farmer cutting their crops as snow is pending everyday. Sat buck beds 3 of my 7 outtings and never saw the traget buck...a few generic recon scouting sits otherwise
Our DEC annouced a death blow deer management plan last week. Next yr there will be a sept ml season for does, an oct archery opener with crossbows now included (which will bring all of the orange army out in droves) and a youth gun season during bow...... this state has to have the worst deer managment out there.
Vacation starts this upcoming friday- wouldnt even guess as to how that will work for coinciding with the chase phase.
Sitting the side lines for a bit tomorrow and this wk...family time (after some hard lessons on why theyre priority number one)...and let the batteries and woods recharge a bit... Just wanted to vent

I was going to say you should live in Mi if you want something to be depressed about, but Bcam beat me to it.

Re: Frustration- Vent time
G, dont sweat it brother. Huntin is suposed to be fun, and enjoyable. Things can change in a hearbeat. Alot of us put undo pressure on ourselves to shoot big bucks every year to prove we are better than the average guy buyin a tag. Some years it just doesnt happen, doesnt mean there wasnt a great plan, and hard work it just means it just didnt happen when you were in the tree. Stay at it itll happen.
