At least you saw bucks. Here in Nova Scotia unless you were drawn for an antlerless deer tag all you can shoot are bucks. I saw NONE, so no I did not get one either. Sucks to be us.

I did not, but I sure do love the game. That is why they call it hunting and not killing.

I didn't kill the big one even though he was 7 yards away. Does that count?

I too struck out on deer. I did have one shot opprotunity, but she would not stand still. Spooky is what she was.LOL I was in the brush and she was 8 yards in front of me. It was like she knew I was there, but she could not place me. Could have shot the yearling with her, but he was no challenge. I did not see any bucks. I did get a javie and made what I thought was a good shot on a 300 lb Hog, but after running 400+ yards, we still could not find him and he was still going.

I had an awsome experience this year. Watched a really cool nontyp out of the corner of my eye rub a tree the size of my forearm until it was hour glass shaped. Ten yards, on the ground!! It just didn't work out. That was my only real incounter.

No kill for me...or for the twenty years before.
Had mucho fun though. Counting coup is more fun and a lot less work.

I had a nice, broadside 15 yard shot opportunity on a 5 point last week with my osage bow and let him walk. My flintlock filled the freezer and I couldn't think of a good reason to shoot him. I passed on a button head earlier in the year. I will be bowhunting public land the rest of the year (until Jan 31) and have a friend who needs some meat. I am not as selective on public land as I am on the private land I hunt.

Hello all,
My name is Brian....and I struck out this year....This is my first year shooting bows, and my first year hunting.
I am an addict, and I cant seem to find any shame. Guess its off to start scouting the woods for next year.

Yup!! I struck out as well. This was my 14th season hunting and still no bow kills for me. Maybe 2008 will be my year. Our season ended the 1st of January!!
