Last year I was home by nine, hanging my goat while wife fixed breakfast by 9 AM.
This year I didn't get one until about 3PM.
Seems like I just couldn't get close, though they didn't seemed spooked (not as many hunters this year as there normally is).
Maybe I was always in the wrong spot. Had to break my rule of not hunting past 300 yards. Got this guy at 578 per my GPS. Everything else was 800 plus.
Not a record by a long shot but at least I didn't get skunked.
