A smiley for my limit. One 12 pt. buck affectionatley known as BULLWINKLE that I have located his swamp hole!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two DMP does to thin our herd and fill the freezer. Most importantly, spending some time with my boy, Joe. That alone always makes my hunts very special to me.

I'm hoping for very good result's this fall since the buck I was hunting last season is still in the area . I can't wait to get started ,I'll start out this season in Sept on the archery moose hunt for a tune up to this season's deer hunt.

My prospect are looking good. I can shoot a bunch of does ( in Maine durring the extended archery season I can shoot as many as I buy tags for, In NH I can buy an additional antlerless tag for archery in addition to a buck in either state) to fill my freezer and wait for the buck of my choice. So far I haven't seen the buck of my choice so it may be all doe. We'll see. I won't shoot a small buck just to say I got a buck though. I'm planning on passing anything under 120"

I plan on waiting until december 1 to shoot any bucks that wont make P&Y. i know what i have to work with, so i dont want to waste a tag when i know for sure there is a 150 incher and and possibly 3 more his size. i plan on spending some time just hunting does, just so i can get more experience shooting deer witha bow. I would shoot a small buck but since i know there are several wall hangers, i want to hold out.
