Yeah ,it's down to the wire now. My local stands have gone cold with all the snow and cold but the thaw has brought them back to the backyards and suburban birdfeeders. The activity seems to be after dark. I've got a six-point min. and will not shoot the forky thats been around earlier. Saw him the other dai abouta 1/4 mile from where my stand is. This is all suburbs of Chi. mind you. I'm saving him for next year. Going up to wisconsin just before Christmas for 2 days may be the last two. Might take a fork there if I get desperate(I still have room in the freezer) but I'd prefer to get a doe for that. I'll make that call if I need to! Good luck to all.
