RE: How was everyones hunting season
All in all i have to say i had a pretty good season, i was fortunate enough to fill 5 of my 6 tags. I killed all my deer early on and didn't take anything the last two months of the season.

It was a GREAT year. I took a nice big mature 8 pointer (bow) a big 4 and a 14" 2 1/2 year old spike. Along with the3 bucks I took, I took 13 does. Didn't see many turkeys this season. I guess it might be a bad Gobbler season

Mine was an odd yearwith weather, and logging in my area. Deer numbers were there as usual, but I was having a difficult time getting does in range. Had plenty of small bucks in range. I ended up taking my largest buck so far and a doe with my bow. I added another doe with the rifle.

RE: How was everyones hunting season
I'd have to say it was a very good season overall. I had just gotten off crutches from breaking my ankle, but managed to track down and shoot a fat young 8 point buck. I really was after more of a trophy, but considering my condition and also considering I took it by tracking, I was very happy. It was a little hard for me though because I took him the first week and we can only take one deer a year. I had pushed myself too hard though during the first few days and I have to admit I needed some rest. I'm happy with how the season went and glad to have some meat in the freezer......it just ended too soon, but that's the way it always is anyhow.

RE: How was everyones hunting season
Nothing here in Delaware but I made up for it in N.J. 2 big does and a 7 pointer with the muzzleloader. My first buck with the smokepole. Then a 6 and a real nice 10 with the shotgun. Going back up to N.J next week with the muzzleloader to try for one more doe.
