Dang. High animal density and the use of bait really is a different animal. I guess I "hunt the hard way" with my weapon but everything else about it is easy. Last weekend I went to a large property that doesn't get bow hunted at all and hunted feeders and corn piles and I literally missed 5 deer (I have excuses for half of them) and killed the 6th one I shot at. This year I've killed 2 bucks, 2 does, 4 pigs, and an elk.

I usually get one each year. Several years I will get two. Last year I got a doe and a 10 pt buck. This year has been tough. I haven't taken a shot yet. I did pass on several young bucks, mostly forkhorns. Haven't been able to get close to a doe yet.

Usually 3-4 per year, Renee can't eat beef or pork but venison doesn't bother her.  Must be the steroids and meds in farm raised meat?

Works out well for me, she encourages me to hunt and fish, but sometimes I think store bought would be cheaper.  :biglaugh:
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Haven't shot a deer for several years. I live in Central Utah, lottery system for deer means you get an archery buck tag every 2-5 years. Passed up 20 or so spikes and 2 points this year hoping for a mature buck since I hadn't drawn a tag in 4 years. Deer hunting in Utah on public land is tough... crowded units, large numbers of beef cows and sheep grazing the mountains.

I would love to be able to answer the question but right now I am at zero for four shots.  I have hunted a lot this year but have not been successful with bow yet. I have 7 days left.

Been hunting since 1968, so far I have killed 2 squirrels and a bear !
