You feel my pain and welcome to the dark side. I’ve had a rough deer season so far hunted 13 days only seen 1 doe. Unfortunately my part of the state of MN is basically bucks only and on typical year if I get a shot I have to make it. When I put a scope on my cva I went for 10” groups down to...

Sorry for the frustrated venting.
