Passed on a lot of nice good bucks with the crossbow due to poor shot selections.
Opening gun it was game over as I'll take that easy 50 yard shot with a rifle.
3 guys hunting high mountain private property. Never heard another shot all season except from us.
Took a 9pt opening day, an 8pt 6 days later and passed on a 10pt the following day due to tag was filled the day before.
We seen a LOT of young and mature bucks.
Very few doe. If you seen a doe, there was surely a buck on her heals.
I know EHD has taken a huge toll on the lower more southern areas but we found no indications of it where we hunt.
The future looks very good next year with the crop of deer we passed on .
