we have 2 seasons where i live. the early season this year i passed up around 50 does and 5 small bucks. i seen a couple of shooter bucks but the shot was just not there. then comes the late season its after the rut and alot of snow. that season for me is the meat season , i shot a doe the 3 rd day of the season and am happy to have her. i usuall pass on the does early just to increase my time spent in the feild. anyday out huntin is much better then watchin football.
