[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 895770, member: 33046"] Well I ended up with "tag soup" this year. Once the regular firearm season starts, the bucks in this area hi-tail it for the swamps, where its so thick, its hard for a rabbit to get around. However there's always a "chance" and IMO that's what its all about anyway. I seen plenty of does that I could have taken but, like always I hold out until the last few days. This year it was a mistake. We were dumped on by snow and the deer yarded for the first time in about five years. Some fawns, mostly buttons, were around, but I won't take them. I had one evening set where I thought it might happen with a doe but, I only had 2 minutes of legal shooting light and it was snowing like crazy with wind. Just to dark and bad weather to take a 250 yd. shot, so I packed it up. During the last couple days of the season, we received another 10" on top of the 18" that we already had. I thought about getting out the snowshoes and trying to run one down. They might have the advantage in the first couple jumps, but after that I'd gain on them. :) It was a FUN season regardless. I got a lot of fresh air, seen lots of wildlife and feel blessed that I was even able to hunt. I have another eye surgery scheduled for right after the first of the year. Hope that's the last of that. MERRY CHRISTMAS [/QUOTE]
