If you hunted deer, you either got lucky and got one, or you didn't. Either way, let us know what you learned about hunting deer this Season.
This is what I learned:
1. You have to be ready at any time to freeze, and then to take a quick off-hand shot.
2. In the morning, deer like to go where the sun is shining and the area is a little warmer. If you are in a dark, cold, and windy area, don't be surprised if you don't see any deer. Only a crazy hunter would be in such a place.
3. Good gloves make a real difference. I bought a pair on sale from Cabela's online, and my hands were a lot warmer. If you don't have a good pair, find a deal online.
4. A good broadside shot to the shoulder will put a deer down hard. You'll lose the shoulder meat, but one shoulder and the rest of the deer in-hand beats a whole deer in the bush.
5. I really need to mount my new scope, and I'm wondering whether the Leupold rain-resistant scope lens screw-on caps would help prevent fogging if someone were to say...um...sort of exhale directly on the rear lens.
