    Merry Christmas! Hopefully I will get my team a present of a scored deer. I have been waved off several times. A 2020 present will be me learning how to score properly to avoid this next year!

    Well guys, I’m sorry to say, but I’m done hunting.
    Got back late last night from a quick trip to Houston, had to move one of the daughters to St Louis for school.
    We load the camper tomorrow and head to Orlando for a week and then on to Gulf Shores. Not much time to tag a doe for the last 50. Sorry I can’t be more help.
    Taking my bow on the outside chance I can deer hunt in Alabama.
    Good luck to y’all.

    My bow hunting has been over for a couple months. I've been chasing ducks and doing a little Ice fishing. I'm chomping at the bit for August to get here so I can go bow hunting again

    Yeah, I'm likely done too. NC does have an urban archery season (something like Jan-Feb) but I don't see an opportunity in the short term.

    No, I think it was a misfire. Maybe? Who knows.

    Went on what may be my last hunt tonight and saw nothing, so I am skunked in Greene County. On the diff note, I went through 3 scorers promising and no commitments on my buck. I messaged the Score Card to have it removed, but Cls74 helped me through scoring my buck. I included the tip to tip and widest spread in my calculation, if excepted, I will have an official score of 118 7/8. I message Brad Kaufman, just awaiting his reply. Thanks for a great year team Optibows Prime! I may get out tomorrow evening, but we will see what the weather is like.

    Grommel's button buck is technically a second doe and won't count as a bonus deer. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just noticed the rule while looking for something else.

    Re-calculated and it is actually 118 1/2.

    I still got the scarlet letter “*” on my score. Even after Cls74 helped me figure my issue out. I am equal to @boonerville” on the cheaters wall. Let it go! Let it go! Hehehehe! Oh well, redemption next year. Time to shed hunt and farm improvements. Hope all of you have had time for recuperation and your getting that fever back for Sept-Oct opening day. Oct for IL bow hunters. Countdown begins 208 days.
