I think this season is officially a bust for us, the food plots just haven't responded to the rain like we needed and the does just aren't showing up like years past. The deer are going into the rut here where I hunt and the bucks are out looking just not much on our property. Only had one doe out at my somewhat of a food plot, and 2 young bucks showed up separately later on, neither one ate anything, just passed through.

Ours sounds like the complete opposite of yours. Hope your luck turns around!

Have not seen a deer yet. Catching a few on camera, but just haven't been there the days they have been. Plus hunting new property. May take us a year or so to figure it out

Slow and steady wins the race.

I hope.

It's always slow for us and then someone manages to kill a sho-enuff goodun and then all hope is restored. I'm hoping that I'm the one restoring hope this weekend!

To be honest, this has been my best season yet, but I attribute that more to my skill level than anything else. I killed my first with a bow and another doe with a rifle. If I could just get a buck, I reckon this will be one of my favorite seasons for a long long time.

I hunted opening day of bow season and never saw a deer. That's the last day I've hunted. Hope I can start back next week.

Our green fields are just starting to grow, but we have only had three deer on camera this year. Maybe the rut will bring some more around.

Had a great start up until first week of December but not because of the deer more so because of my younguns and work schedule.

I've seen more deer on public land than I have on my two small private places I have to hunt. I would call my public land season so far a success.... private land is TBD. I've got a good buck on camera that is a regular, I just hope I'm there when he decides to move in the daylight.

It's been terrible for us on our Bibb county place. I have one field that we usually see 20-30 deer in per afternoon sit. I have never sat there in about 25 years of hunting there and not seen at least one deer. Well it happened Saturday. We had 5 people in the woods for 4 days and saw a total of 21 deer in 40 sits.

On the other hand it's been the best year ever on my Lee co. place but it's never had food plots only natural browse

Been pretty good hunting public land seeing does. My property one of the worst years ever. Plenty on cam just won't cooperate while hunting.

I wish I had all the money I've spent on the season thus far. I could go to the Winn Dixie and fill up several freezers with better meat.

Our greenfields looked pretty sparse just before season, however they have come in nicely with the recent rains. I saw a lot of movement last Friday and I am getting back out there next week. I'm just east of Centreville so don't give up. Get out there and get that biggun.

Ehhh not so good. I hunt 90% public land and this year the deer keep being in the spot I hunted last time. It's a back and forth game. Plus got some other hunters that swear they hunted this field last year yet I hunted it twice a week last year and never one saw them. Maybe by end of season i'll at least kill one hahaha

The little I've been able to go I would have to say so far has been one of my best years ever for bucks
