I learned the deer don't move near as much when the weather is warm!
It don't take long for the deer on your land to get over pressured!
If you don't lime your fields you will regret it!
I had much rather be tried by twelve than carried to my grave by six!!!!

Didn't learn it, just re-affirmed how smart a 5.5 year old hillbilly buck is.
And that I've still got alot to learn.

I learned again that 90% of killing a big buck is luck.

I learned that if you kill a good buck in one spot, someone else had been hunting the same buck 4 miles away all season long. Know where I'm hunting next year!

I learned again that 90% of killing a big buck is luck. I think my first post and yours^^^ is saying the same thing, 2 different ways. that, which I already knew but was reminded of again. Also, how hard it is to shoot a buck in the timber chasing a doe. I did learn a little more just how random a buck's movement is, especially in the mountains. After sitting in a really good stand location 4-5 times and not seeing a mature buck (had pics of several in the area) when conditions are prime will do a number on you and makes you loose confidence in your stand. Then someone else goes there a few days later and kills a 4.5 year old buck. Also learned to make sure my 40 yard pin is really my 40 yard pin. I will never assume again that any pen on my sight "should still be ok". Missing a 140+ that you had pics of all summer at 40 yds on opening morning of bow season is something an Alabama bow hunter will not soon forget.

How easy chasing big bucks can go in front of church and family on the priority list.Even if you never miss a church service or family time.Just by the amount of effort given and zeal in the pursuit.I find myself asking whats more important that buck or the lost soul of a friend or family member.Something personally plan on working on.

That high fence deer are actually smarter than free range and just as hard or harder to hunt and that the ones who say it isn't the same are just jealous because they can't afford it.

Already confirmed- Heat kills dear movement.
Learned- You WILL see bucks early season that you have never got on camera before (BE READY). As well, if you miss that opportunity during bow season, gun season might be a cruel long hopeless adventure!
And finally like someone else posted. That buck you hunted in one area and never saw again is going to be killed several miles away by one lucky person!
Other things being equal, it is the man who shoots with his heart in his bow that hits the mark.

I learned that 5 years of steadily declining doe sightings and 5 years worth of declining trail camera "census" pictures, was all due to the large acorn crop this past year.

Thats why they are good ole bucks and still walking th woods Yep, sat a cutover on a perfect cold full moon period day(one of the few we had this year). Saw 67 deer from 9-noon. Saw the big one at about 200 yards at 12:15, could not get a clear shot. Probably spent at least another 30-40 hours on that stand the rest of the season,he never showed there again.
