RE: they know when hunting season is over
i think they know to an extent. About a month after iowa shotgun season ended, a friend and I were out in the woods on a four wheeler. Ahead of us jumped out two bucks, one had shed his antlers already and the other was a basket 8. i turned the four wheeler off and looked at him. i slowly made a move. I grabbed my LRF and ranged him at 52 yards. We then yelled at him, talked at him, waved our arms, and then he just kinda sauntered off wit his pal. only if i could get his granddaddy to do that...
