Don't feel bad my friend. Its my opinion that deer hunting is about 30% skill and 70% luck especially in mass and southern nh. I hunted NH for deer for the first time this season. I did a small amount of scouting for a couple weeks before muzzle season opened and talked to some local guys about spots and they gave me some advice. Scouting I found two decent trails through a dryish river bed that deer were using alot......it was a low gully and seemed to me it provided some cover as they went through because it was a pretty deep ditch. That's where I missed my opportunity on a doe she came right through that gully but I was not paying attention and she got too close to me before I saw her and didn't get the gun up ahead of time.Congrats!
I felt like a dick this year. I get invited to a nice piece that some friends keep stands in, clear lanes etc. for archery. Shotgun season; I walked into the woods, sat down in a stand and within 3 hours was dragging a nice doe out. Missed a nice buck that was with her. At the truck havin a snack at 10am.
My buddy had spent 10 or so days during archery season in the same area with no luck.
I hate people that do that, but I must admit...its kinda fun
