Late season hunting can be really good just depends on the area you are hunting and how much pressure the deer had during the early bow and firearm seasons. I really look forward to late season hunting, shot some of my biggest bucks dec thru jan... After the rut the big boys got to feed to replenish the body fat they lost chasing the girls around, and finding a good food source is the ticket to putting meat in the freezer. so in IMO its a darn good time to hunt!
