I thought about saving a doe tag for late archery, but went out and shot a doe in rifle season. Oh well, I'll have to wait another year before trying it. I give you guys credit going out there at that time of year. I'm usually out as well grouse hunting where I get to walk and stay warm.

Yeah, I'll be out, if the wife kicks me outta bed!

I'll probably be out unless it is tooooo cold!
I'm bummed out because I saw so many bucks during early archery (missed 3 ). During gun season I saw three non-shooters on the first day and nothing since. I would really like to get my first buck.
I got a doe two days ago finally. At least I have something to put in the freezer. I would like to fill the freezer though as I've really developed a taste for venison!
But really, the best part about it is being out in the fresh air and enjoying nature.

Yes i can't wait. this is my favorite season .I aways take vacation for the last week of the late flintlock.

I'm looking forward to the archery season. Can't wait. Had to miss rifle season. Baby is due any day now literally.

this is kind of along the same lines of the topic i was about to post. is it possible to still "call in" bucks during and after rifle season??

I dont know boyscout but I am gonna give it a shot. It cant hurt to try and call them in. I will be out there the second season, though I never saw anything the second season. But this year I saw 1 tail the rifle season so who know maybe I'll get lucky.

good luck to all

im looking forward to it....this will be my first year ever hunting such a season....cant wait.....it should be fun.....and we know of a couple bucks left in the area me and my buddies drive....will be doin more of hte same come late season.....all of us armed with flinters....and alot of us got doe tags left and a few have buck tags....im one with a buck tag....i dont know who all muzzleloads in the group i go with....so i may be the only horn hunter........we will see.......im going to talk to the drive leader and see what bucks he knows is left before we drive so i know if i should wait or take a doe...i have doe tags left.......cant wait......i think ill go shoot the flinter soon......maybe tomarow lol.....good luck guys

I can't wait for the second season. Last year I had a nice 6 pointer fall to my smoke pole and that was the 12th deer of the day that I saw. I always see a good deal of deer in the second season as they seem to start coming back to normal after the hunting pressure of early December. I have yet to see any signs of the second rut though maybe someone could share their experiences.

I definitely think it is possible to call bucks in during the late season though I think you may need to be more critical in terms of when you call and how often you do it. I am sure the deer are much more skittish than in the early season though that week and a half "break" must do some good in this regard.
