Back in August, there was a thread about realistic expectations for deer seen/harvested for the upcoming season. I thought I had posted on the thread, but apparently not. My post would have to kill my first deer in my first season to hunt with a gun.

Luckily, I met my expectations. Got my first deer, a doe, on 12/31/14. Got my first buck 1/17/15. Both were shot in Marion Co. on the land where my grandfather grew up (55 acres). I appreciate the tips from everyone on here!





And I've got this guy to dream about for next year...



How would you say you did this past year in terms of meeting your own expectations? I know many said they saw fewer deer than "normal." I certainly had many days without so much of a glimpse of a deer, but glad I got those two!
