I was really blessed this year.  Filling all my tags, but one non-res IL anterless tag.  I killed one muzzleloader doe with my daughter in the blind with me, one archery buck, one antlerless archery and then an antlerless late season (actually in Jan) with a shotgun.  In that last late season I got to see a group of five bucks with the largest a huge 10!  He was awesome.  I crawled across a field within 75 yards of them before running out of cover and find no does at all with them.

3 doe and a nice 8pt in 08'. So far I'm at 17 deer with trad gear since 02'. I have a few deer sprinkled in there with other equipment before I picked up a stick.
Just one more step please!

24" wide muley w/longbow in SD.  Jumped out of bed at the end of a long looping stalk and let the arrow go when he stopped to see what made the noise.  Best muley so far.  Gotta love that spot and stalk hunting.  Only antlered tag I had on the lower 48 this past year.  Hoping for better this year.

Thanks guys for your responses RC I read alot of your stories this year and ave***e for you would be a great accomplishment for me   :notworthy:   This past couple of year i've hunted on new land and this season was the first to hunt hard with my bow and seen maybe 10 deer all season. It is really thick down here on the Gulf coast and most area I hunted in provided only 15 to 25 yard shot opportunities which is what we want but, no chance to see the game before it's in your shooting lane.
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.

Congrats to all that had a good season. Eleven Whitetails here in Maryland and 3 animals in Texas  using 3 different trad bows. I spent a lot of time in the woods this season. Shoot Straight and Good Hunting.

season closes dec 31 in Ne so none in 2009 yet.
Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.

My first year hunting with a longbow, I killed a buck on Nov 17th at 3:17pm at 10 yards, something I'll NEVER forget! I also missed a few this year as well!
