It depends on what your goal is. I usually hold out till the last week of hunting season and thats when the rut kicks in. I've past up on some nice deer that I wish I would of shot and had to settle for a meat deer come the last day. Seeing deer here is a given but I'm looking for quality. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you can't eat the antlers but the meat only last a few months but the antlers last a life time.
