My season was terrible, how was yours???
Tom:
My season was similar.
During the bow hunt for moose, two of us had a bull and cow tag, but the only moose we saw were in the Temagami Game Preserve on the way up. The bulls weren't answering the call, we had a small one orbiting our area, but he never came in. On night we had one grunting at us in the dark (about 9 PM), but he was gone by morning.
During the firearms moose hunt 5 of us had 1 bull tag, but the leaves were so thick on the trees that we never even saw the two moose we got close to (one was definitely a bull).
During the first week of deer, 11 of us got 4 deer and 1 bear. Over 20 deer and 3 bear were seen, but none by me. During the second week, 8 of us got 1 doe, having seen only 6 deer and a bear. I missed a nice buck (130 class or better), and I still don't know how.
It got dark before I could thoroughly check the reason (we spent the time being sure I hadn't wounded the deer), but I suspect it was a piece of unseen brush - at least that's the story I'm sticking to. :wink:
I'm planning to get out a few times with my bow before the end of the month. After-all, I still have a buck and a doe tag to fill.
