The late hunt was a little tougher this year due to the snow coming early and then stopping. The deer seemed to be around but not in the numbers we usually see when the snow flies in November. I made a 1 day trip up with 2 other guys early on in the hunt. One guy Aaron had just started hunting with a bow and had never drawn down on anything. With a little bit of luck that day he was able to take his first deer with a bow. A very unique 3 point.
We made our yearly trip with a group of guys from work. There was 5 of us total for a 3 day hunt. This was the last weekend and as you can see we still had no snow.
My boss who has never killed a big game animal had made the decision to shoot the first thing he had a chance at. He made the shot count on a big doe to finally break his streak of bad luck.
The rest of the trip was good with a few nice bucks spotted. My string of bad luck continued as I watched my arrow sail over the back of a respectable 150 class buck. Then two days later I made the wrong move on a 170+ buck. I had the buck dead to rights but instead of coming over on top of a huge boulder I decided to go around it. I bumped an unseen 2 point and he busted down the mountain.
