Late season success
 

What's the latest date in the bow season that you harvested a deer? I got the biggest doe I ever shot the day after christmas a couple years back. Great late christmas present.:)

I've shot a number of deer with my bow in January. The latest that ever happened one year was on Jan. 31st--the last day of the season--with about 10 minutes of shooting light left.

I never go out that late in the season I find it to be to cold!
After sitting in a tree for to long I cant pull my bow back very easily.
If you guys have any good tips for keeping warm I would love to know!

My lastest bow kill was on dec 25 in 2001, yeah its cold but thats when the biggins move and need to feed. and as far as a hunting goes i hunt from a ground blind with great sucess.

i have killed them in jan too. i hunt from a double archery blind...the t2. it keeps the wind off of you and is fun to hunt from...esp when they walk up and lick the material:) just joking.
