Here's two bucks I saw last year while getting my stand the day after the Seg B hunt. The "small" one was at my stand, stuck on a doe. The other was on a doe right off the trail. Both at Big Mineral more than 2 miles in. I saw a few deer during the hunt but no shooters. Had the hunt carried to Mon, I'd have a trophy on the wall. I second guessed my setup location the whole 3 days until Mon. Luck just wasn't on my side and luck is probably the biggest factor when hunting the refuge.
The results may be lower in the last 5 yrs but there's still plenty of huge bucks at Hagerman.

1 coyote this morning followed by small 6pt. Total bust. Just walked in the door after 5hr drive home. Moral of the story: I had one possible shot on a nice 10/12 pt, I'm not sure cuz he was moving fast. Missed my shot window by prolly half a second. He was in range and in view for maybe 5 seconds total. So close ... Guess I'll have to come back and try again 😁
That's the spirit, and that's the dream to keep us trying! Thanks for taking me along for this hunting trip y'all. About the time this season is over, I'll be able to hunt again! LOL

When we went to pull stands monday morning for seg A this year there were deer running everywhere where we stayed just by Goode unit, the three days during the hunt there was nill activity. There were a dozen on the food plots on the wheat fields driving down refuge road, they were chasing does in big mineral. While last year seg A hit is dead nuts, we missed it by one day this year I think.

Yep. That's the way it goes. You get 3 days and nothing more. That's why luck is such a huge factor.
