I hear you with the coyote's. I had the same problem late season last year and same this year. They go right for my gut pile and then make themselves at home I must have had fifteen sets of tracks following every deer track through the woods. Can't wait to get the .17 out and take a few wacks.

Put up one nice doe on a drive. I had no shot that was safe. She went at my BIL and busted him and he could not get a shot.

Well that is the end of it. Not a bad season. I ended up with 3 deer. I would of loved to get one with the ML. Also one yote. Key points of the season: I never saw one good buck that I know of. That is a first in a long while. I love bow season! ;D I barely saw a deer on stand all of gun seasons. I walked up both does I got and most other sightngs as well. Kinda miss seeing deer on stand! Need to get off the public land! My hunting party did poor! 1 deer out of the brother in law( the real nice 8), 0 for brother, 0 for dad who did not get out much and 0 for uncle who did not get out much as well. I did not miss a deer, the 3 shots I took the bow buck went 40 yards, doe 1 went 1 yard down and doe 2 went 50 yards or less. Second year in a row without a deer out of the back woods after 5 years of successes. I did pass a few though and the deer seem to be using it as well as ever. I jumped at least 100 grouse this deer season!! watch I will take the bird gun out and see no grouse and a lot o deer!! 10 months till bow season!! Things to do before next season: Buy some hunting land!! Plant a food plot behind the house. That is gonna be a bear of a job! Anyone got a dozer??
