Deer season ended for me today and it marks the second season that I have hunted fairly hard without killing a deer. I live in a state with a long season, no firearm restrictions and fairly dense deer population. I rifle hunt exclusively and bought several rifles before season with intentions to kill several deer. I can’t really say I didn’t have opportunities, but I think my quest for big, mature bucks has ruined the hunt for me to some degree. I had a ton of opportunities to shoot small bucks. I’ve had several chances to shoot mature does. I just can’t make myself shoot small bucks or does when I have game cam pictures of a big buck in that area.
Next year I think I’m going to book a hunt with a buddy of mine in Missouri to try and kill a big buck. Other than that, I’m not even going to put a trail camera out. I’m just going to get in the woods and shoot anything legal that walks out other than the rut. My freezer can’t stand another season like this one.
