Congratulations Fish on a great week of bow hunting. Your neighbor may have gotten the deer and good for him; you though had the thrill of SO-ALMOST over and over which made for a great hunt. You and your neighbor both should be congratulated and I'm betting you may be carrying the bow again next opening day as well. When one really likes to hunt with a certain weapon or technique even though it is not as efficient as others are using then that is what one enjoys the most and that is what is most important. A few spectacular huge deer the inefficiencies of your choice HAVE and WILL cost you over the years is far outweighed by the satisfaction you likely have hunting your preferred way. Again congratulations on your great week of bow hunting.

Looks like "frost on the pumpkin" in Arkansas and Oklahoma! Good luck all. I saw couple groups of does and yearlings yesterday. So glad the resident wildlife find the 25 acres of Mandy Hollow a good place to hang out.

We've had 2 does so far, no bucks yet. The ducks are here though. They are tearing it up just west of me on the black river management area from the sound of it. Duck gumbo sounds good right now.

Good shot! I always feel like the meat will be so much better when killed in cold weather. And you have the snow too!
This is the buck I shot yesterday evening late that I was looking for...no luck 
While I was over there looking this morning this buck showed up in our south plot...is that a small drop tine I see?

Back at it this evening. The weather has sure turned shitty. 30+ mph winds this afternoon but it's settled down somewhat. Need to fill a doe tag and call it done for a season so my wife won't feel like a hunters widow much longer (but then it's almost snowmobile season)

Dang! Tough luck. Despite that, your season is going quite well in terms of encounters with mature bucks. Hopefully he'll survive and you will meet again.

I really hate that of you Okie. I got on here tonight just to see your buck in pics, I was so sure you would get him. I'm bummed as I'm sure you are. I know it is how hunting can be, but sure hurts. I know how I felt when I whiffed that arrow over the back early in the season. Hard to bring ones own leg up to kick yourself in the ass, I tried. Don't suppose your fence sitters made off with him do you? Good luck, you have had one heck of a year so far. I'm envious.
