I saw deer nearly every time out during archery season. Missed a doe at 30yds and a small buck at 15yds. I was out almost every day from Oct. 21st until Nov. 16th, the day I shot a medium sized buck with the shotgun. In my area I can say the rut began on Nov. 8th. On that day I began seeing bucks moving around during the day and small bucks actually chasing does. I have only been once since I killed the buck but will start hunting again with the bow next week.
