I think that with all the snow that has fallen over the last 24 hours, my deer season is offically over. Had a good year saw lots of deer, and managed to take a few. My group ended up getting 8 deer, a 6er a 4 point, 2 buttons and 4 doe. That was for 5 guys hunting in NY state, the 6 point was my buddy's first ever buck and only 2nd deer. So all in all it was a great season and congradulations to everyone else who made it out hunting this year!

SWVA Muzzloader harvest...Good to go this year
Killed this buck early in Muzzloader here in SW Virginia, 11/06/07, dressed out at 168#, nice mature 8pt. Taken at 65yds. 50cal muzzleloader/saboted 240gr 44cal, didnt go 5ft
Killed a doe a week later, same spot, dressed her out at 94#. She was a beauty. Travelled about 10 feet and piled up. 50 cal muzzloader/saboted 240gr 44 cal. No pics of her unfortunately.
Third buck I killed on Thursday, 12/20/07. Great 7pt. / 140#. 50cal muzzloader/saboted 240gr 44 cal Was within 15minutes of last light. Decided to try grunting. He came in like a freight train, tearing trees up, grunting, jumping up and down, thrashing his antlers against everything. Whistled to get his attention and that was it...He ran dead for about 15 yds.
Have until Jan 5th or we run out of freezer space. Funny thing is, passed on alot of nice shooter bucks and does during rifle season.
Safe hunting and Happy Holidays all.

Just got back from the last trip. Brought back two more does. Filled my tags and got two more doe tags just in case but didn't need them. 6 deer this year. I saw over 80 deer while hunting this year. Man what I year and I hate its over. Already looking forward to the 2008 season next fall.

Am I the only one who would NOT describe 2 people getting 2 large bucks, and 7 other deer as "tough". :barf:
Skunked==> tough. That's where I'm sitting right now. But congrats on overcoming such a "tough" season.
Kreyzhorse:
That sentence could be taken to mean, "first deer ever", or "first deer with this rifle" - which is it?

Took awhile to get this pic up.
I was hunting mule dear with no luck, didn't see a single deer all day. So I decided to go pheasant hunting and this one jumped out in from of me. I had to run back to my truck to get my rifle. I was able to go back and find him again.

Got him New Years eve morning.....I'm inclined to call it a 10 pointer, there are two sticker points an inch long below the brow tines.
Been holding out for some larger ones I've seen, but the cold weather and numb extremities won out. Getting hard to find anything of decent size, bucks have been dropping their antlers for over a week now. Probably a cold Iowa December to thank for that.
