Hey Doc,
Got the same issue with my deer in NY. I can get there ,but when I was a lot younger I could get a deer out of there too. Not now.
If somebody found us lying side by side theyd have to gut and tag me too just to drag that far.
Those deer you dont see till they bust are some of the great experiences that make it hunting -not shopping. Just kick yourself and move on ( slower and quieter and more observant etc etc etc)
Its not how many you shoot anyhow -its the hunting that counts. Some of my best hunting memories are from years I didnt score.
My uncle related his favorite story from years of archery hunting the other day, and it had nothing to do with harvesting a deer, but the way he got to see wildlife interacting that he had never had a chance to see before.
