      @@smanoutdoors3165 You're certainly welcome man! Don't give up even when you do have those days where you come up empty. It's called Hunting, not killing. Just like Fishing is called fishing and not catching. LOL. My middle son (34) just killed his first deer last season too. A good size doe. Got his second deer just this past saturday. Another good size doe. But they all eat good when you fix em right brother! He's still waiting for his first Buck and he'll get it eventually. Keep it up and stay positive. Happy hunting to you as well!

      @parrodii3140 i'm with you. I am in it for the hunt not the kill. The excitement i felt when i got the buck was just about being successful after perservering the past two seasons. Congrats to your son on being successful. And im with you. The place i hunt its either sex. So i didn't even know it was a buck until after I shot. It all happened so fast. Thanks again...

    it feels good when you get a deer 🦌 it doesn't matter if it's a doe or a buck when you stop getting exited is the time you stop deer hunting. now you have more knowledge about hunting deer 🦌 you will get better at it. OH one more thing you should always have your gun on safe you just never know what could happen you just need to practice it it will come naturally with a little practice good luck on your next hunt 😉 🇺🇸🦌🤸

      @smanoutdoors3165 has a lot to do the area you hunt in I lived in Upstate New York where there isn't any farm land it was vast forest for miles and miles kind of place I loved to hunt so deer like that would go into the hemlock (big pine trees)swamps and then only ventured out at night I mean these swamps are huge you go in there not knowing what you are doing they may never find you if someone had to come looking for you
