Good luck tomorrow. Our firearm season started yesterday. Snowed off and on all day. Didn't see any deer, but I did get to watch a couple squirrels scampering around on the snow.

Rifle season opened last Saturday and I got out this morning, no meat today. Both of these little bucks were chasing does.

A better perspective not zoomed. I didn't go as high as usual because it was windy.

Ours opened on the 10th. I missed muzzle loading season in October due to truck trouble. Its unusually wet here and our woods are sloppy and hard to get around in right now. Our zone is open for 4 weeks and another zone that I hunt runs until after Christmas.

Good Luck and be safe everyone.

I need a bigger freezer. It's full of fish, deer, pork butts for sausage making. I may go out today since they are predicting snow. Only heard 8 shots yesterday morning (usually hear 30-40).

WV deer hunting seasons look like they threw darts at a calendar. Archery has been in a while, I’ve filled one tag. Antlerless season Pt1 was a couple weeks ago, got one of them too. Next Monday firearm buck and antlerless Pt2 starts, Lord willing I’ll be in the woods. Then more antlerless seasons and Muzzleloader in the middle of December. Cause the deer ain’t running fast enough yet. :-P

Our rifle season starts today. Been seeing plenty of buck activity but no bucks (yet). We are allowed to shoot one doe during MZ season that ended yesterday so wife and I each took one. Just finished up grinding them into burger so now we can be picky when it comes to bucks.
Good luck everyone.

Our buck season begins Monday.Yes. Once, I was working with a fellow from Mississippi, when he said, "I never knew deer season was a national holiday until I came to West Virginia!":bigsmyl2:

Im not sure about a national holiday but it may as well be a state holiday. Saw a lot folks loose jobs and women over deer season.
For some reason this is the first year I’ve never been pumped to go. I usually head to deer camp for a week but decided to just stay home this year.
May hunt around the house this year or perhaps not.

Had a good opening morning, shot a good sized 11 pointer, at about 10 this morning, and my wife shot a big doe, at almost the same time. It was nice to wake up to a fresh bed of snow, and yet, not enough to make it hard to walk through.

Our rifle season doesn't start here until the 28th. Been half heartedly out with the crossbow a bit since were in archery season now. I did kill a decent doe during our early antlerless segment in October. I hope I can put a tag on a good buck before it's all said and done.

Rifle season started today for us, got a nice fat doe. There was a button buck with her, he wouldn't leave, almost decided to take him home but gave him a pass. He hung around for about 10 minutes, I decided to try a few calls to see how he'd react, the doe bleat made the most impact, but all he would do was look my way...I'm thinking he was too young yet.

Went deer hunting last night and it turned into Thanksgiving Dinner when Mr. "14 Pound" Tom walked by.

I passed on shooting an 85# button buck at 8:08 yesterday morning. My SC Hunting Host would have said, "You just weren't mad enough at him." Yeah, it's kind of like that.

Congratulations to all of you guys that have scored! No pictures but I scored a South Arkansas 8 pt earlier in the week. Nothing spectacular but, one shot one kill no trailing, just the way I like!

A lot of the smaller rural schools in Arkansas let the students out of school on opening day of deer season if they don't tear the school up during Halloween. The bigger towns not so much but pretty common in the rural. Sounds like a win for both sides!

I though those plastic assault rifles were not used for any sporting use.

around here even schools are closed for first day.

I have had so much fun, with the new AR 10, in creating loads, that I decided to leave the bolt actions, lever actions, and the revolvers, home for this hunt. It came through with flying colors, even though I only needed one shot. I really like the Vortex scope, that I put on it, and the load I have come up with, using Varget, and Hornady SST bullets, is spot on, at 200 yds. Very sporting, if I say so myself. LOL

I took this buck, opening day, 11/17 in Sullivan County, NY. Ends a drought for me of some years. Just in the right place at the right time. Then 2 1/2 hours dragging. Weighed it at a local watering hole. 8 points and 145 pounds field dressed. I am in the green/white shirt. My deer hunting only lasted 3 hours this year!

Rifle season opened 3 Nov in Texas but the summer drought and October floods have not helped. So far we've taken 3 cull bucks and a 400# boar hog. The soggy roads took a skid steer loader and my pickup. Those were recovered Sunday after a month of drying. I personally have not seen anything I'd be willing to skin. Good Luck to the rest of you.

I got back out yesterday, still no shooters. Someone dragged a deer by the tree I've been hunting out of (public land)and this guy came by following the drag scent.
