Wintry 2009 Hunting Season

2009 was a successful Hunting season - we harvest more than usual, which we expected coming off a couple seasons of low doe take (only 1 last year)

We took 8 Does, 8 Bucks and one Button Buck. of the 17 deer taken, 10 different hunters were successful. Personally, I took 2 doe, a 4 point Buck with rifle and another 4 point on the last day in Blackpowder season.

We had more snow than normal, which made our standing Beans and Corn quite the Draw. In the last 2 weeks we passed up dozens of deer - still the older bucks managed to elude us. We stayed mostly out of the woods and hunted the fields - which kept the deer around well - but, I feel that the older bucks just waited till nightfall to come out.

Still a super season in my book - Now on the winter doldrums.......... we do have a couple cams out - hopefully we can produce a couple interesting Winter Pictures.
