Here in NY our southern zone only has a late ML season which occurs right after our 4 weeks rifle/shotgun season. ML starts today and i will go out this weds till the following tues. Its only my second ML season but I did it last year and shot a doe. I find the deer very nervous since we had 4 weeks of people pounding the woods. My friend and I have a piece of property that was lighly hunted during the regular season so if we get anything I expect it to be from that piece of property. Personally, as long as its a mature deer I am taking it as i would like one more deer for the freezer. Good Luck and bundle up its cold this time of year.
