a post I made on another thread got me thinking. seems a lot of us have one, so
what is your nemesis species? you know, the one that no matter what, you have NO luck with.
for me its been whitetail deer. going even back in my wheel bow days, I cannot even guess the amount of money and time ive spent chasing em. I go to a buddies in Ohio most years, and hunt only good, private land. once with a wheel bow some years back I shot a 118 or so inch deer, but otherwise no good luck. couple years back with the ol bighorn I overshot a similar deer. hunted Kansas twice, with an outfit there. all, good, managed private land. got a shot at a bruiser both years, one I thought I drilled but was never seen again, and another a limb saved for another hunter. locally, ive spent countless hours in a tree stand mainly in South Dakota with similar results. had a nice buck hear my arrow sliding on my rug rest a couple years back. another big buck knew my stand was there, it was placed too obviously by a buddy. I could go on, but you get the picture.
this fall, in Ohio I did manage a nice buck finally, he wont make book but he would gross it. I was beyond stoked, and hope im past the curse.....
how about you?
