My season opens Nov. 12th. and I expect to hunt every weekend from then until the end of January. It's tough, but it has to be done.

My kill plan is different from your's Sabotloader. I'm popping a cap on the first mature doe I see, and probably the second (our club has a two-doe limit). Once meat is in the freezer I'll be content to spend the remainder of the season enjoying the woods and hoping a nice buck comes along. Of course, I'll be sending lead toward any hogs, bobcats or coyotes silly enough to show themselves in daylight.


See that sounds like a whole lot more fun... but I have to stay the course to keep me in the game plan... or I could be working for my wife...
