Quiet this year, but have are fortunate to live in a place where I can hunt a lot of different game.
 I've taken Black-tail, White-tail, Mule deer, Bear, Moose, Stone's Sheep, Mt. Goat with my Chek-Mate Recurve and a Hog with my MOAB longbow.

Ciao mi amico,

You already know the lord blessed me this year, 4 animals down in Texas this year, a ram, a fallow deer doe, whitetail doe and a buck. Not bad for an old fat man.

Sat on the ground 3 times this year. Killed one 8 pointer, saw 6 does and 4 turkeys. One deer a year is enough for me and Momma. Killed 2 pigs last spring.

I haven't been very lucky. But I have changed my tactics and I am now seeing deer. Two a couple of weeks ago. Three a few days ago and seven tonight with a shot almost taken.

I didn't take any deer with a bow this year but it wasn't for lack of chances. I'm totally to blame for it as I didn't practice at all from a stand this past summer. Slapping arrows together on the ground but put me in a stand and I blew it every time.

Best year of my life!!! As far as seeing deer its been the best, Ive had 5 140 class deer in range and several up and comers,and one in 150's just out my range on public land(land between the lakes). I killed my best deer ever this year and in velvet (with training wheels  "[dntthnk]"   :D   ).

This isn't a final count, going to try and make a few more hunts before Dec 31st.
So far 3 deer, 11 hogs. Hope to get another hog or 3 over the next 10 days.

I have yet to draw the bow string on an animal this year...but if you could get a glimpse of my life you would see, I am a VERY lucky man!

I ALWAYS enjoy your posts Felix!  :wavey:

this is my 7th year hunting with a stickbow and I have filled all my archery tags every year. even got a black bear last year with my longbow. there have been a few years the last tag was filled the last week or two of the season though.

I always did the same with a wheel bow but man o man is the stick WAAAAY more fun.

you guys that have yet to get an animal with your stick just keep at it because when it happens you'll have a rush that you'll remember as long as you live.

good luck to all
      &
Merry Christmas

I consider myself very blessed with all areas of my life,I'm 42 years old now and am just finishing up my 28th year of bowhunting in Western N.Y. I've killed 22 deer in those years with a bow and 20 of them were with a stickbow.

Ron, The main reason I posted that is because the results would be much easier to see in a poll.
