I’m still going after a buck. I killed a doe opening weekend of bow season. And passed up a mature 8 in Edwards county mid October. With my schedule with school I haven’t had many chances to hunt this year. Hoping to get a buck killed next weekend though

It's so great to see all of your comments. I'm glad you can still hunt. I hope all of y'all get a buck ot The Buck. We have a really nice 8, so symmetrical that he won't have any deducts, but if I see both at the same time, I'd take Fat Albert. I really like him.
Last year Fat Albert was a real toad and we think he is past his prime.

I'm still in. Took a fat doe last week with my bow. The next day, my buddy (who is bucked out) spotted what is apparently the biggest buck we've seen on our place in the 3 seasons we've had it. He's out of town and said I could go get on his set to try to tag the big boy. He doesn't have a bow set up at this spot this year. I'm pulling out on the morning to see if I can figure something out to try to encounter this guy with my bow. If there's no good way to set up on the spot without getting busted, I'll likely resort to the boom stick if I can track him down.

During bow season, I didn't see a single mature buck. Opening of rifle, I had a couple old bruisers on the neighbors pasture, neither made it closer than 30-40 yards to our fence before ambling on down to the creek. I sat most hunts with my oldest boy, trying to get him his first buck, without any luck. He finally got his first, while hunting with his cousin on thanksgiving morning. So it was back to focusing on myself. I haven't seen a single deer in the last few weeks. Hunted over in the SHNF weekend before last with my buddy who has a few spots scouted out. Lots of sign, but nothing was moving. Hoping to get back out this Saturday, and possibly Sunday...the following weekend I'll be back at the farm, keeping my fingers crossed that they'll be back at the feeders. I haven't eaten tag soup in several years, but I might this year. I usually shoot a couple of does, didn't even accomplish that this year. But I've enjoyed the sits nonetheless
