our season is longer then yours. and we dont experience the weather your thinkin of. i do see what your seein but we have the same pressure if not more and a longer season. our regular bow till end of rifle is from september till march if you include the special extended season but the regular season is the beginning of october till january. and there were 213,918 deer killed last year in va during the regular season thats not including the extended season. but i understand what your sayin and yankee,rebel it dont matter we are all bonded by the deer we chase.
