Tough Year With One Week To GO!!!!

[Caleb the bow breaker]

Well season is almost over here in Nebraska.  Been a tough year again this year.  Havent seen many deer this year and the ones I have seen have either been a long way off or moving fast.  The cherry on top is that I got a call Saturday morning letting me know that somebody shot a pretty nice whitetail on the property I hunt.  Well after a few questions it sounds like that deer was shot out of a stand that I put up Fri night to hunt this week.        

Ohh well I guess.  One week to go and it only takes one day to turn the worst season of your life into the best season of your life so here is hoping that things will turn around.

Keep after them!

You can hunt during the gun season with a bow now in NE right? Plus you have until the end of the year. You can do it.

yeah thats true Shedrock, but the place I hunt has tons of gun hunters so never quite the same after gun season

Hey Caleb, if i can send you some words of encouragement.  

Like others have said, hang in there.  give it time.  At the very least, you are getting in the woods.  

Because of my work, i have missed the last three seasons.  I have been working away from home.  I have not sat in the deer woods in three years in my home state.  I would give anything to still hunt during the fall.  To see the leaves changing colors, to hear a squirrel as it barks at me.  Each fall for the past three years i have been in the middle east.  My two little boys at home have not had the chance to wander the woods with me.   I have not been able to show then what a rutting bucks signs are.   Its been really emotionally tough on someone who has so much of the outdoors in his genetic makeup.  

The great thing is that you are able to get out and hunt.  

Keep at it.  even if you don't kill anything.  Being in the woods is an awesome reward in itself.  

Good Luck.
