Deer season 2021- 22 is in the books and for me, it was an outstanding one. I got a thrill when big bucks, some of them with eye-popping stats, appeared in front of the stand. I was there when a trophy buck was stopped by an arrow or bullet. It was a genuine rush for me, but truth to tell, I never sat down in a deer stand this season, not the first time.
