I'm still grinding it out with the Stalker. I have until the end of the month and I'll probably hunt a little in January in Ct. deer activity has slowed way down since thanksgiving and it seems the only deer offering me shots and 1.5 and 2.5 year old bucks. I filled my one buck tag with my wheels on a buck I've been after for years, so it'll take a real special one to get my second tag. I almost did just before thanksgiving, but I hit a branch I didn't see on a solid 130" 8 pointer. I'm hoping to fill one more doe tag before the end of the season.

Congratulations to everyone who has filled a tag and keep grinding to those who haven't.

Well, after talking with my buddy Tim in Bath, we decided I would not travel today; Wednesday seems like 'a sit by the fireplace' day.  Let the storm finish and go up on Thursday.  Will keep you posted.

Good to see a few who tough it out.......I threw the towel in a while back. Just didn't have the desire.......
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Good luck guys. With temps slightly above 0 and negative wind chills, add super spooky, mostly nocturnal deer and a full freezer, I am done this year.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

I was out Sunday evening and almost had a shot at a six pointer following a doe but she winded me and he stopped right behind a laurel bush for ten minutes and then turned and followed the doe. Plan on hunting again this weekend but this has been a real bad year for me. The acorn crop was terrible in my spots and the spots that had acorns were very crowded.
