My season starts Sept 15th. I usually hunt every day from Sept15th thru Decexcept Sundays, which in MD we cant hunt except for 1 or 2 days they allow Sunday hunting, seems rediculous to me. And then I usually slow down to a few days a week after Dec 7th or so. Im hoping for a 140 - 150" or better buck, but my goal is to take a 130 or better buck. I may not even shoot one, who knows but I will tell you this, I'll enjoy every minute of it regardless of what I get or dont get.
