I waited and waited for my dumptruck of apples, but they never arrived. No buck for me. Tag soup. 19 days of hunting and no buck......I suck!!!
That was one tough hunt for me. I spent all my time pursuing one of two bucks during the hunt. Hunted the wide one I found scouting for 9 days and the buck with cheaters for 10 days. No shots. It just didn't workout for me.
I think if I had spent more time riding around on the roads, I would have seen more deer and maybe even got a shot at some buck, but that's not what I like, and I can't imagine getting a "quality" shot road hunting. I need them close.
I like the challenge of picking a buck and hunting him. I lost this time though....twice actually. That's hunting, right? I'd like to say I had fun anyway, but it wasn't that fun. There are many places I'd much rather hunt than the Paunsaugunt.
