yea i hunted down in va for doe only 2 weeks before their bow opener. It was hot but no buggy. Had a little 8 point walk by me and i watched him in the binos for about 20 minutes. Had a doe come into bow range and drew back on her but my limb was hitting and upper branch I forgot to trim.....needless i hunted the stand and two more times and deer sightings dropped each time....i would rather it stay the same especially in the 5c area because the early season doe hunters will put down a lot of scent and change the pattern of the bucks before the opener[:@]
