2010 HUNTING SEASON CLOSES

     Since I have been traveling a lot and had a couple bouts with not feeling well, I haven't been able to write for a while.
    We finished up the 2010 hunting season with some mixed results. Overall, I count it as successful but it certainly could have been a lot better.

    Each one of my hunting partners this year, tagged at least one deer for the freezer or for the wall. As shown earlier, my daughter took her first deer with the muzzleloader. I also took a flathead with the muzzle loader and my son took a doe during the Pennsylvania antlerless season. Gary took a nice nine-point buck in the southern region of the Adirondacks during the first weekend of November, and it was a beautiful deer.
   So each of us put venison in the freezer but that is about all that can be said. I hunted two days in Pennsylvania and never saw a single deer. This is very unusual in that I usually see about 15 to 20 deer each day of hunting. I also did not see the number of hunters as I usually do. I think the lack of hunters had direct impact on the sighting of deer.
   I hope your hunting season was a bit more successful. We are already planning ahead for next year. We'll have to wait and see what that brings.
