Greetings,neighbor!
A few years back,we had heat that wouldn't quit.It was 79 degrees in Jan.My season didn't go well at all.Do you have access to local farms and /or do you travel? Hunting in October is key.I personally don't have local access.Last year,I purchased a bow,so no longer have to wait for general (state) firearms to open in Nov.Even with the heat,hunting early should increase our odds.
