Just the time of year and getting together with old friends. My wife hunts with me. Another good thing. There are no Ticks in the Dakotas in November. That is not unless they are wearing overcoats and electric underwear. We have a lot of hard freezes by deer season although the weather is usually pretty mild during the season. It can be 70 above to 20 below zero. The muzzle loader season starts in early December after the rifle season its usuall quite cold by then. We hunt in both South and North Dakota. The coldest opening morning that I recall was about 12 years ago when it was 17 below with 15 inches of new snow.
