im just wondering if people have the same problem as me. haha

well i bow hunted this year and only saw a single cow and couldnt get a shot off. so i went empty handed. my brother went rifle hunting this weekend and i went along. by nine oclock we jumped two spike bulls at which i could have shot if it was the week before. and about five miles down the road we run into another herd with a spike and a HUGE bull. 6x6 rack was a good 5 to 6 foot tall and it had alot of mass. and was he buggling up a storm it was cool but also depressing ha.

Your not alone, seems every year I see a nice Big bull while deer hunting, ( yesterday I seen a 5x5 Bull with 2 ladies 1 hr into the morning 150 yds away and clueless to me being there) And Im sure when it comes time to try for my Bull I will see many nice bucks, last year I seen 5 very nice bucks during bull season and didnt get my buck during season.

Oh well, I guess if they turned the seasons around there wouldnt be any critters left.

Yes, Hunting is funny! I saw more bucks over the summer than I have in any previous year. 17 total. 1-1/2 solid days of hunting this weekend and the only buck that I saw had spikes less than an inch long.

I bow hunted all seaon long to no avail. This weekend i too was out with a friend. Saturday afternoon, i took a nap then about 5:00PM went for a little walk. I walked into a little meadow and went to step over a log. As i did so, i saw some cows and calves coming into the meadow. I froze, and watched them. They meandered through the meadow with two bulls close behind. One a 5x5, the other a 6x6. They walked 80yds from me, never saw me, and eventually moved off. The 6x6 was limping, and began to fall behind a bit. When he was right in front of me broadside, he was falling behind so he stopped, threw his chin in the air and just went to town bugling. The air was a bit cold and you could see his breath. It was pretty cool. If only i hadn't left my camera in the tent!

How else do you think the big man upstairs gets his chuckles????..........by having fun with us.

Don't worry, he always comes through when it really counts.
But not until the freezer is "almost" empty though.

I hope your right cause my fish and game freezer is barely holding enough to keep it plugged in
