I hunted both my kids this deer season, rotating one each weekend. My son, I started letting him sit alone and he did as he was taught. We saw plenty deer and passed many young deer. The highlight of the season was my daughter taking her first deer. She killed a nice doe on a cool December morning. The shot was around 80 yards and deer dropped where it stood.

That's awesome! Congrats to your daughter on her first deer!
I am a huge deer hunter. I missed a monster with my bow this season. I was sick lol. I was able to get one though a couple weeks after the miss on a perfect shot. Not the biggest buck or the one I've been looking for but I was happy as could be. Shot him in the Southern Tier here in NY on property my family has hunted for 30+ years. We don't get down there as much anymore after my grandpa passed and we sold the hunting camp. I had always wanted to get a deer down there just never came together until last season.

Very cool. I'd rather see my kids score than me.
When my kids hunt w me my weapon isn't even loaded or ready. Their successes are far better than mine to me and I'm excited bout em for days. I'm sure you understand. Congrats to you both!
Awesome smile on her btw
Love it!
That picture of ninja jr was the highlight of my season. I did not deer hunt much this year, maybe 4-5 times. Just did not have the drive. Hope to do more of it next season.
Good looking buck babs and glad you got one in that special spot.
Didn't hunt real hard this fall but I did okay(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170212/e13363cc078af26088a0287cac8a5c4a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170212/16304281645cad327ffd712a820da634.jpg)

Congrats everyone!
I had a good season despite not spending the amount of time in the woods that i typically would have due to the arrival of my daughter in September. I managed to arrow a decent 8-pt and several does...

I ended up starting a little taxidermy studio in my house and took in 30 deer...16 done so far. :z-dizzy:
Mounted this bruiser the other day...

Nice buck and nice mount. Even better, you're going to have a new hunting partner in a few years. Make them count, they go by quick.
Congratulations, you sleeping all night yet?

No bucks this year. I had a pretty tough deer season but did add a little meat to the freezer

Honestly those 2 bucks came off my 40 acres. I've owned it for 9 years and those are the only bucks I've ever killed there. I don't hunt it much because of the lack of bucks. I just got lucky, I hunted it 3 times and killed those two. I've logged a bunch of hours seeing nothing.
I was just jokin' around with ya, they are two nice bucks in my book.
Sometimes it just seems to happen that way. I used to sit daylight till dark if I was on a good buck and not kill a thing. I'm not as obsessed with killing big bucks like I used to be and I can't sit in a stand near as long as I used to.
A pic of a deer from last year. Not much horn wise but it was pretty old, fairly large too. Had to curl him up to get him into my truck which isn't full size(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170220/9e50d31ca0c5d81992c4f8b4008e99c9.jpg)
Second was a meat deer taken in early Jan(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170220/b3131c8b8eab4a1960774acf9678748a.jpg)
Not giants but deer nonetheless
