One of the many reasons to be thankfull I live in MS--I can bowhunt throughout deer season, and it runs from Oct 1 to Jan 31 (although it's usually too dang hot in Oct.). Just got invited to hunt on a friends place--he's not hunting this year due to health reasons--and it's got a LOT of deer on it. Looks to be at least one really nice buck there, but I'm happy with a young doe myself (easier to drag out, and more tender). A great turn-around to what was looking like a really crappy season--not going to be able to hunt in TN this year, most of my old spots have been taken over by clubs, and my one spot that I pretty much have to myself has been dry as a bone (according to my brother's game camera, the deer have been almost 100% noctournal there, even though they have almost zero pressure????).
