Just getting a thread going. I know I'm not the only person who is feeling excited for the season. I hunt Burnett county.

Overall, a decent season. I killed the only deer of a group of 4 guys on about 80 acres. There were other opportunities that were passed on and a couple misses. We had the most deer movement opening day and then around Thanksgiving. Shot this buck Friday after thanksgiving in the evening around 4:20PM following a group of 5 does. Washington County
I ended up getting two nice does and my uncle shot a nubby. Other than opening day movement was almost non existent until Thanksgiving when I saw a ton of deer and got one doe. The 2nd saturday was the best for us. I saw quite a few early and then my uncle got down and headed to me. As he was about 50 yards from my stand I noticed a few does coming towards me. I shot one doe and then they ran right towards my uncle where he got the nubby. I also had a nice buck come through, but I just couldn't get a shot. Overall it was a slower season, but between bow and gun I got 3 does so overall we've had a decent year. Freezers are full and our group/family should have enough meat to last the year.
I saw deer opening day at 9:00, 9:30, 10:39, noon, and then these two at 12:30. Shot both of them and they dropped instantly. This is my first buck and I've been hunting for 26 years! He would've been an 8 pointer but he was missing the one side of his rack. From the angle I shot him I never even knew he didn't have the other half, but I don't care, can't eat the rack anyway!
Sad morning for me. Missing my first opening day in 46 years, not including my four years in the U.S Navy many years ago. The pain in my legs has just become to much for me and now walking even twenty feet is very difficult,Just getting in and out of the truck is hard. Hope my brother and buddies at the deer camp up in Douglas county do well and have a great time. Good luck to all you hunters in the woods and fields this morning and through out the deer season. Post pictures and stories if you can.
Super super excited. I won't freeze to death this year, that's good. I go up with one friend, so not really a 'camp', but we hunt his family ground. I would love to go in with a group and buy some ground. That would be awesome. But I am going even if it means public ground. Everyone have a safe and enjoyable season.
Second FullDraw, my Dad passed away 3 years ago and our family hunt has virtually ended since we hunted his land(he sold his home/property when his health declined). Lots of good memories but the "hunt" is now just me because nobody else wants to hunt public lands. Bittersweet time when remembering past hunts and knowing it will never happen again. Definitely a reminder to enjoy the experience with family and getting a deer is just a bonus. Good luck !!
love seeing everyone fired up about the upcoming season, it's the best time of year. My season changed last saturday as I got down from a bowhunt to learn the passing of one of my immediate family members. I didn't hunt with him but he would pop into our deer camp every now and then. Deer season this year will be much different than anticipated so to all of you with ongoing, declining, or growing camps. Cherish every second you get to spend with your crew. It can be taken in a flash. I'm hoping to make it out on saturday to sit and reflect all day with no phone or anything, just some time in my favorite place. If a deer happens to walk past, excellent, but very much looking forward to the time and memories with my dad, brothers, uncles, and friends this weekend. Good luck everyone.
