When I moved to Angola IN in 1990, I learned about deer hunting as a culture. Was hooked pretty much instantly. That first year, I froze and shot nothing.
The following year: 1991, I shot my first deer. Every year since I have shot atleast 1 deer. Some times, the deer was not very big, but I got one. This year- nada, zip, zilch! I had a couple chances, but passed.
Once waiting on Luke to get a shot, once it was not legal shooting light, and the third chance: I was not sure if the doe was a doe or just a big button buck: it was walking with a very small yearling. Spent winter break trying to get a shot..... saw a few, but not in shooting range.
Guess Luke's button buck will have to stretch us for a while.
I did see 2 nice bucks still alive for next year!
Only had 1 stand stolen this year, and no footprints from the boys next door tramping to my stands like in years past.
