Well?...who came up empty this year besides me?

[Gunther]

With all the rains giving the deer on our place a buffet of acorns and other browse. I did not see even one buck all year, only a few young does. While scouting along the river today I found additional late season acorn sources and games trails that were not present before early in the season. Anybody body else come up short on meat for the freezer?

Another year of frustrating hunts on public land and another year with no blood on my bow. Hopefully , I'll get a chance to chase some hogs before turkey season kicks off. Me and my buddy are already planning where we'll hunt opening weekend.... and I can't wait.

Nothing in the Freezer here. But my Memory Banks are full .

i came up empty handed this year but it is my fault, i put a bad shot on what would have been my best buck ever back in bow season. i did not tag a doe during the archery only season i just did not have a oprutunity (sp?) at one. i drew back on a couple of bucks but let them walk i will be happy about that next year. but this has been the best year i have had i have seen several deer in the three y/o range and that is saying A LOT for where i hunt, and our place did not get overhunted for the first time in 5 years so i am already excited about next season. this aint the first time a drew a blank and probably wont be the last.

You are not alone, misery loves company! It appears that I am only able to shoot deer in Illinois this year. The deer between Marble Falls and Burnet seemed to be allergic to sunlight and cornfeeders. If it wasn't for trail cameras, I would have seriously wondered if there were any deer on our place to speak of

Yep, I am in the same boat. I did have one opp. Ona big bodied buck earlier. Just was not ready when the brief chance was there.

Have a little bit longer for some does & spikes.

Sign me up, I lived vicariously through the green screen. Thanks everyone for some great hunts, pics and footage.

[SCORPION KING]

Nada here also but I did have the chance of pulling the trigger on a couple of bucks early in the season but decide to wait on something bigger and better. Did shoot a big sow full of piglets so I got rid of seven @ one time.There's always next year they will be bigger next year. That's hunting o well.Enjoyed the time out watching wildlife.

My deer have been bitten by vampires as I only see them (actually pictures) at night. I wouldn't think there was a deer on the place if it wasn't for the camera.

This makes 2 years in a row that I've been shut out. Paying money for a lease and not having anything to show for it is getting expensive.

I never drew back on one this year...I was to busy videoing Tammy and Colby.

Last night I was getting my stuff together and a 140" buck walks out of the brush 21 yards down wind from me.

I was standing up in the stand and my bow was lowered down already...THAT'S MY LUCK.
I could only watch as he walked off and around me.

Hopefully, during the extended season I can drop a doe or two.

[BentBow]

It is not the lack of seeing deer, it is the dicipline, you guys have instilled in me, not to harvest the young guy.

This is my 3rd year in a row to come up empty, because of selective thinking.

[DWG]

Nothing here either but hopefully will get back to the lease in the next couple weeks to get a few does.

[Rickzilla4645]

Skunked...but did see a few..bucks and does..all public...
