I always do some hunting after shotgun season. Like others have said it's not the same as before gun season but you can still connect on a deer. Last year I saw 11 deer one afternoon. 3 of which were P&Y bucks. All the deer were feeding in a wheat field. It takes them a little while to calm down after gun season but if you can figure out where they're feeding you'll see some deer. And you can't beat hunting in the snow.
