Still gun season, still going out, but from the reduced numbers of deer I'm seeing, not real anxious to shoot deer. I've passed up quite a few shots on does and all I have left are doe tags. I think all the doe tags the DNR has been handing out the past 5-10 years has finally caught up with us. I'm torn as a farmer/hunter on how many deer there should be; I think I'm comfortable where we are now.

Gun season closes Sunday night, Dec. 18, then I can bowhunt again, with a doe tag. I'll probably go just because I like sitting out there, watching and learning. Who knows, might get a shot at a coyote.
