I don't know about absurd W.T.F. The PGC has a reason for this early season. Down here where I hunt in 5c-5d we have way to many Does. I will be in the woods tomorrow in a tree with a bow in my hand and I can't wait. I have plenty of spots to hunt and see no harm in trying to put some early meat in the box. I hope I do see a nice Buck tomorrow, nothing like seeing a Buck in the deer woods even if I can't shoot it. Your best chance down here to shoot a nice Buck is the first day or two of Archery. After that the big boys are in night mode and don't show until the girls start stinking. I can see your point that if you know a big Buck is a spot you know I would NOT hunt that spot til the real first day of Buck Bow on the 29th. If I don't see 10to20 Does tommorw I will be shocked!! Goodluck next week and Be Safe!!
