What are you hunting with? I will be bowhunting from 12/27- 12/30 but that is also the late season fire arm doe CWD hunting dates. You will need to wear orange if you plan on hunting then and if there is a lot of action where you are hunting the deer could go noctural. If you are hunting with a bow and still have a buck tag you can take a buck but if you are hunting with a gun it is anterless only. Last year I was seeing large buck groups moving into the fields to feed in groups of 8 or more but when the guns started even though the bucks were not being hunted I never saw another buck again that season. It all depends on the pressure in your area, I saw bowhunting only on my property but my neighbors were using guns. Good luck either way
