I got a doe this past Saturday and it definitely took the pressure off a little. My brother has 4 in the freezer this year so far, but he also has out of state tags-MD, while I only have my PA buck, and now one doe tag left. I took Friday off work, so if I get my buck then, or Saturday morning, which I hope I do;)then I will be done till PA rifle even though there will still be a week left in archery. I will spend that time with the family, and still have a doe tag to use once PA rifle comes in, December 1st. I can't miss rifle season, my dad only hunts with a rifle, and that is great "guys only" time.[:-]

Hey, I just noticed, it is my one year anniversary on here!:) Tons of knowledge gained in that years time. Thanks everyone!!

I hunt until im out of tags. It helps me improve my hunting skills and shooting at live game. Im sure once im older i'll settle down a bit, but until then I will hunt until I legally cannot anymore.

We hardly get any extra tags the way It Is here In Minnesota where I hunt. If I was given more then one tag I'd keep plugging away until the tags were used up. I can eat like a horse and I'm always out of venison come February.
Then come on down for a visit, Schultzy. If you've already got your buck and it's more venison you're after, have I got a target-rich environment for you.:D

Seems like a crazy question.....but I've made a decision.....that if I get a buck I'm after....I'm done. I'd still have all the doe tags I cared for....and one buck tag (I get two buck tags/season).

Do you hunt......as long as you have unfilled tags? Or...do you get what you want/need .......call it a good season.....and end it (if you still have some hunting season left)?
Jeff,
Even if you get your buck, surely you're going to keep trying with the longbow, aren't you?

For the most part yea, somtimes I back off a little, sometimes filling them all out comes easy. Sometimes it is all I can do and then some just to get a few.

I will be hunting until the first sunday in Jan when the season closes.
I pretty much get unlimited tags. Now that I found out where the
meat processor is that takes them in to feed the hungry I will
be trying to do my best to help out.

Even though in VA we are allowed 3 bucks per year, on the base I hunt we are only allowed 2. About 3-4 years ago I had killed two bucks by November 17th. I kept on hunting and learned new areas on the base and saw other bucks....just alot of good learning and growing as a hunter because I was able to observe. If I have doe tags I am still hunting.

But hunting is personal. If you have hunted since September Jeff and you want to cool down and spend some time at home, just take a couple of weeks off of hunting. Think about whether you want to hang up the bow for the season or not after you have had time to reflect.

I try and hunt all year, whatever may be in season (something is always in season). If I'm not hunting then I go scouting. During the summer I don't do as much though as I have a lot of "chores" around here to do then.

I hunt until the bitter end for deer and then move on to other critters, I love being out there to much to take a break. If there's an open season, I'm hunting!:)
