I mentally start the season in the fall. It started this year a few weeks before deer season. I made the first stand of the year and killed a single.
The week before deer season the wife and I were scouting for her tag and I killed a couple that day. My furthest kill yet @802 yards.
Of course I messed up on some stands. I had 5 coming in hot and tried getting two with one shot. I missed both haha. Two separate stands I missed the same dog twice. Missed, called it back, and missed again!
I’ve killed 22 so far I believe. 5 were just spot and stalk. If hunting solo I would be around 30. I’ve made 33 stands so far.
