either season can work, which is better depends upon yr

1st the animals are generally higher elev, tail end of the rut; weather typically milder

3d more likely to have snow to track, more animals lower where they're easier to get to; weather colder

if you want to get a deer tag as well, there aren't any 1st season

if you want to chase them in the wilderness at high elev in the early season, start working out

have fun...


Hunt hard... hunt often... hunt safe!
