I shot two bucks, one mule deer and one whitetail. Thought I was doing pretty well after the mulie but the real trophies were my son killing his first buck and my wife finally killing one big enough to hang in the house. With 4 bucks we decided to forego our usual hunt for late season does or cow elk and call it a year as the freezer is brimming full. We’ve moved onto coyotes and pigs so we don’t have to butcher any more game until next year.

Nothing, my boys and I lost our lease two years ago and can’t seem to find another one. May give it up altogether.
Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

Just a yearling with the CVA Scout TD 300 Blackout opening day of rifle season. I was dead dog sick during our muzzleloader weekend, so I didn't hunt it this year.

Nice bucks

I have another freezer but 4 will get us through until next season. No reason to shoot does/cows for meat we don’t need.
I killed the two bucks in different states, though there are both in my home state. Mule deer came from CO and the whitetail from OK.

12 does, 2 bucks and guided grandson (9) to his deer. We eat 3, give 5 to friends/family and donate the rest to the mission. We are overpopulated and actually need to take more. Also quail, dove and pheasant.

Finished the season with a big bodied, ancient 6pt that I've watched for the last 2 years. The drought really has our deer population down in my area of the Hill Country.

Two 8 pointers and a Doe. Bronchitis for the last 12 days of the season and I killed the couch. Really bummed me out as I was off of work the entire time on vacation and was sick. Still trying to kick that crap. (note to self: Don't get bronchitis! ) I had intended to hunt that bear that was marauding our land and corn feeders. Oh well, maybe next year.

Just a buck and a doe. Both with a 25-06 Montana and a 115 NBT. May still arrow a couple more does? I'll whack some coyotes this winter too.
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
