Well, the 2010-2011 deer season just came to an end. I started hunting September 11th and went through January 15th, which occurred in Georgia and Mississippi.
I was successful in filling both my buck tags in Georgia with mature 4 1/2 year old deer.
I was also with my Dad when he killed his Georgia buck.
Then I hunted with my Dad in Mississippi. Unfortunately, we could not find a mature buck to shoot but the property we are hunting just started a management plan and we were happy to help out with doe management. My Dad and I killed 8 does for the program.
This was my first year to video my hunts. I learned quickly how much of a commitment it was to do this. First, you have to carry all the equipment plus your regular gear. Then, it takes time to set it up and then tear it down at the end of the hunt. I only got 2 kill shots on video. One was my Big 7 pointer and the other a doe. I learned how hard it is to video and shoot at the same time plus the deer always seemed to come out right when camera light was fading. Even with all this, I really enjoyed it and I plan on taking the camera into the woods next year.
I compiled a best of video below of my 2010 – 2011 season.
