Frustration is setting in

The rifle season is far too long in this state. It's the reason the wealthy errect high fences. 3 months of rifle season and a 3 yr old doesn't stand a chance

I'd vote for it.

I'd vote for it.

It's actually a 5 month season for the Managed Land Program Clubs.

Been there , done that. They have kicked my tail for many years.
In the what it's worth category
- keep your head up, your are chasing a worthy advisory, not just any critter
- for any deer to reach maturity in fragmented acreage, its knows how to avoid hunters and has seen many of its brothers die at feeders.... lessons it won't forget.
- he hides in places you don't expect or can't approach undetected. Hunt less suspecting spots. I found one hiding in a fairly small rose hedge bush in a ditch in a hay meadow
- think new ideas, different trails you saw in the spring, look upstream of where the does come in etc., hunt mid day, walk the perimeter occasionally , put away the trail cams, hunt
a track, etc
- take a newbie occasionally to bring back the excitement
- break throughs happen only when you change... certain you have, just keep trying new ideas.
- enjoy yourself your solving a complicated puzzle
- good luck, he will walk by
