Through the years, I have harvested some pretty nice bucks. In my mind, the trophy may not even be the deer. You would likely be surprised what I consider a trophy.

This year could be considered my worst deer season ever. I have never seen such a lack of big buck movement. This is my first season in 21 years that I didn't see a racked buck. I passed up several small bucks, but never saw what I was looking for. It seems I wasn't the only one in this boat. The reports that I've received from other hunters have been dismal at best. Most say they didn't see much, and if they did get a nice one, it was likely more luck than skill. Only a few people have said their plan worked flawlessly and were able to harvest a nice one.
