re: What’s Good and Bad About Deer Hunting in 2020

quote:

---

Bad: This is the least amount of activity I’ve seen in my life (deer, duck, fish).

Good: Work this year has been the busiest year on record.

What he said

Good: I got a doe and a buck the first weekend.

Bad: I hadn't been back because of a family gathering that resulted in a quarantine.

I'm headed up this weekend and will also get a post Christmas hunt.

Good - bringing my 3yr old for his first hunt

Bad - still need meat for the freezer and only have a few hints left

Good: Daughter got her first deer last sat

Bad: Let a bunch of mature deer walk last year thinking I'd have a sure enough giant this year and none really made a huge jump

Good: I have enjoyed every minute I have spent in the woods.

Bad: wife has complained about how much time I've spent in the woods.

Good: bought a big new upright freezer to put all my deer meat in

Bad: I haven’t killed any deer and my freezer is empty

Good: I haven’t spent any money (outside of lease payment) on hunting yet

Bad 1: I haven’t hunted yet due to football being pushed back so far this year

Bad 2: I can’t find .270 ammo anywhere.

Bad - saw over 20 bucks last weekend. Let them all walk .
Good - this weekend I’m filling the freezer

Bad: I’ve been able to hunt exactly once all year

Good: I’ve been able to hunt exactly once all year because this 3 month old little girl just won’t give me any time.

People are more selective of which bucks they shoot...good

Leases are freaking outrageous...bad


Eta- I thought we were talking overall/generally?

If personal..

Bad...full moon was right in the middle of our rut. Bucks when complete lockdown mode. Maybe too many does.

Good...#1 my 80 yr old dad can still climb up a tree stand. I thought last year might have been his last year of hunting independence. But still going strong.

Good #2...ive gotten to take my 3yr old. (Almost 4) little diva princess a few times and she loves it.
