me, I LOVE late season hunting. the bucks are more consentrated on food and so are the does. I keep my self warm with hot cocoa and a good pair of thermals. Besides be a little nippy keeps you on your toes. The great thing about late season is that the bucks arew done rutting and are grouping together. I had 6 bucks come by me last year in early january and one was a nice nice buck. although he had already lost one side of his antlers the other side more than made up for it. I rarely see a bucks complete rack a big as this guys one side was.
