The deer season in New South Wales is coming to a close at the end of October, and to me it was a reasonably fruitful season. My freezer is stacked to the brim with fresh venison, and my memory is full of hunting tales.
I like to spend this time of the year to reflect on exactly what was and what could have been. This allows me to go along and both understand what worked and what didn't work, so I can utilise the lessons learned not only next year's deer season but also in other aspects of my hunting life.
One of the things it always surprises me with hunting, is that you can always expect the unexpected. Just when you think the hunt is over, there is a high chance that something is going to jump out of the bushes. This was definitely shown to be the case on one my hunts throughout the year, when I spent three days hunting deer before going home, after the car was packed and we were on our way out we decided to check one last spot. Sure enough not 150 m from the car there were two fellow and we took both.
I hope that your season was successfull and that you learned some valuable lessons for next year and the years ahead.
