One Month to go!

[DeerCamp]

Well, Today is the 16th...With that being said, there is just one month to go till early doe season!! I cant wait!! I already have my spot, and Im ready to go. Anyone eles going to take part in this early doe hunt that runs the 16-20th of Sept?

[extroverted]

I too love to hunt, but the last thing I want to do is tell that one big bick that I am there hunting his babes!!!
This can wait until oct. 1 st!!!
I think they should get rid of all early seasons!!! and leave the hunt for Oct 1st.

In West Virginia, where I hunt, we are again having a couple of early seasons - doe-only bow season runs 13-18 Sept, followed by a week of doe-only muzzle loading season. Plan to hunt both these weeks, a few days at least. Sons and hunting buddy still work full-time jobs so I will likely hunt a few days alone.
Expect that the temps will continue to be high and insects and snakes may have to be contended with, but hate to sit home knowing that there is a legal hunting season in progress.
Not my favorite time to be hunting, but the call of the deer woods will win out, I know.
Got my spot picked out and ready to go.

Yes, I`ll be going hunting in the early doe season! I can`t wait for it to get here! I just sighted in my muzzleloader the other day just for that season to get here! I`ll fill my freezer first, and then hold out for a nice buck the rest of the year! Here`s the doe I took last year during the early doe season.

Congrads on the nice doe last year TNT! I believe one of the main reason there is an early doe season, is the DNR here in Michigan would like to reduce deer numbers, more to their liking. By having an early extra season they are hoping to have hunters such as myself take full advantage of it.

I am so ready for some time in the woods with bow in hand.  With the corn in early this year, I am hoping it will be down early also...  would be nice to have it down before he opener.  Anyone have any insight into the projected harvest period?

I will be hunting a few days of the early season.  Haven't had much luck during the early season, aside from a clean miss 2 years ago.

I am curious the reason behind the opposition to the early season.  I have heard many say it will ruin the opener for the monster the are patterning...  can't ya find another location to take a doe out of the herd?  I think I am missing something.

Nice crop this year too, lots of ears as well.
