have to have the time to spend in the woods. If you make it buck only the first week and guys have doe tags , they are not going to take time form work to hunt buck only on a first day. I am thinking this past Saturday w/ doe open in 2D would have been good and this week as the doe tags come into play. In our area 1/2 the hunters were around for the first day/week. No one moving deer. Processor only saw a 1/4 of the deer he had last years 1st week so far. We got the deer, just seems no one has the time to hunt them anymore. Another thing though, i saw a lot more guys hunting bows this year, both X and high tech compounds.A the deer seasonsre changing so that guys want to spend more time on the rut? It has become so easy to kill a deer (doe) in gun season that maybe the hunting challenge is swinging towards the bow or ML seasons?
