could have, probably should have. I took a buck and a doe this year already but gave one away. I do need 2 in the freezer with 4 growing boys eating me out of house and home. I' ve been holding out for another buck. I have all the way until Jan 1st with the bow. The late season does (end of Dec) are easy as they are always out eating during the day when the browse gets thin so I' m not worried.
