I shot two anterless so far. Didn't see any bucks but also didn't really hunt hard. I am more interested in meat than the rack. We have two more antlerless periods coming up this month - 18th - 20th and 28th - 31st - so I hope to get at least two more.
Hunted with my AR15 this year for the first time as I got the optics and laser zeroed in a couple of months ago. More than anything it was just fun hunting with my 8 year old as he loves that rifle. I am impressed with it - 2 standing and unbraced shots, 2 kills. The sucker is dialed in! I was thoroughly impressed with how well it shot. One was a head shot with the laser at about 120 yards and the second was a neck shot through the scope in a bunch of brush. Both dropped on the spot.
Nice wish we could hunt with exotic guns here but no chance. Those head and neck shots will drop them like a rock.
We only have two weeks a year we can hunt with shot gun and the others are bow hunts. Shot gun is first week of November and the first week of December.
