Anyone else get skunked this deer season?

Yep, but I also made a grand total of zero deer hunts this year, hope for much of the same next year.

The last weekend I hunted, I shot a doe just to get some ground meat.

I've figured out your getting skunked problem

I didnt see anything to shoot at, but I only made 2 trips 3 days each. One weekend was the arctic blast

Last year I got skunked. Let way to many good 3.5 year old bucks walk only to see them blasted by others. This year I dropped one on my first and 3rd sit of the year. Then I had to remodel through November and December.

Haven't killed shite in 2 years. This is after averaging about 6 deer/year for the previous 25 years. I now have a kid in the stand just about every hunt. My rare kidless hunts I just can't seem to pull the trigger. I getting old and soft I reckon. But I aint mad. As long as they are bringing in meat..

One of my worst years, and only got 2 bucks, and only one in state. Did let a nice 8 get away with my bow, but didn't really see any nice ones where I usually hunt. Did have a good out of state hunt in Canada and got a 225" 23 point. Bruiser that was pretty much my year

Sounds like a bunch of fair weather, box blind hunting, pipeline sitting, highline riding Hunters in here to me....smh.

strange year for me.... spent the majority of it hunting a couple of giants on a farm i've got. Saw the bigger one twice without getting a shot... never saw the smaller of the two but did get camera pics of him about 30 min before I got there one morning. Dropped a doe on my birthday just to make sure we had a little meet. All told I had several good hunts, just never sealed the deal on ol big.
