Daryl, our firearms season for deer doesn't start until Nov 6th
I was anxious to spend as much time out with my primitive archery equipment before then, since they still use a lot of dogs in my area, so after opening day, all the "patterns" of movement go out the window. Blackpowder season starts in Dec, so by then the deer have settled down again, but the weather might be severe
Getting our meat is serious business
I'm looking forward to shooting the Nov and Dec matches . Got to keep in practice .
