I am not having a good deer season so far. Because of my job I don't get out as much as I used to, shoulda never taken the promotion! My bosses don't appreciate me either!

Anyway, when I can get out all I see are button bucks, spikes and forkies, so in a nut shell, fawns and yearlings. No mature does and NO mature bucks. Had a big bodied spike buck in front of me last night, he nearly got an arrow except a big tree saved his butt. Serendipity I guess, he wasn't meant to be. Tonight it was button buck, he walked again. I just can't shoot them.

This is dismal. Each time one of them walks away I see images of steaks smothered in garlic on the grill.

So far this has been bow season. Firearms starts on the 15th here (Tuesday) and it is usually a circus since 7 million people decend upon the Michigan countryside to hunt deer. All on one day!

We call it the orange army.

It does make the deer move only because it is a shooting gallery out there so it really isn't hunting.

I just want some meat for the freezer. I am going up to one of the "boyfriend's" property tomorrow to try and kill some of his does. He doesn't like venison except the sausage ( I think there is something wrong with this boy).

Does anyone feel sorry for me yet????????
