A thread in the serious deer forum got me to thinking about my season. It ended up with a few highs as well as a lot of lows. I set a few goals for myself before season and I accomplished some but some I didn't. I had 4 different bucks on 3 properties that I wanted to kill. Last year I set a goal of killing a good racked buck at my parents house. I've hunted there off and on for 35 years and never killed anything bigger than a 6 point. Well I didn't get one last year either. This year I vowed to not only kill one but to do it with my son's bow.
The season started out with a hunt that Jackie Caudle puts on at Southern Sportsman Lodge. This was a 3 day hunt where you did your own scouting and hung your own stands. They drew names for 2 man teams and we all put money in for the big buck and big doe competition. I managed to kill a doe and a 8 point and my teammate killed two does. I had the big buck won until Tom Boatwright came in with a big 6 point. I can't seem to beat him at anything. Tom is one hell of a competitor and one of the best men you'll ever meet. He pushes me to not only be a better competitor but a better person. I want to be just like him when I grow up. We had 34 hunters and we killed 26 deer. My team came in second and we both won a bow. One goal accomplished.

Halloween day I was able to take the only good buck I had on camera at my parents house. He's a good 8 point and I killed him with Tim's bow. I aslo ended up taking two does with Tim's bow. The last one also ended up being the first deer I've ever killed during the February season. Two more goals accomplished.

I also killed my best buck of the season with my truck Halloween night on the way home from my parents. The one I killed with the bow fits inside this one.

As for the other 3 bucks I was after, I never got an opportunity at them and I'm not sure if they survived the season. Goals failed.

Most of my sits I just ended up crying and missing my favorite hunting partner. Oh what I wouldn't give to have him back.
Rest in peace son. Daddy loves and misses you.

Great bow season and prayers for you and your family.

Looks like y’all piled up the deer on the Southern Sportsmen Hunt.

Just seeing this, Scott. A strong, solid post. Congrats on all of the kills.....hopefully the big boy didn't mess up your truck too bad. What an awesome way to honor Tim! Your strength (although I know it comes from above) amazes me.
