Season opens here the middle of August and runs through Jan1 unless it falls on Sat, then it is extended to Jan 2. I think the guys are up to three does and unlimited bucks, weeell almost, based on one per day. At most of the clubs in this region the deer are terribly stunted now from the strain but the ones on my place are fat and beautiful, particularly the does. The biggest buck has not been seen since year before last, he was a ten pointer and at least 200lbs+ on the hoof and trimmed for luvin! Not sure if he peeked and has started down or perhaps bought the farm. Shux, they feed so close to the house that buckshot would be overkill from my patio and many neighbors stop on the dirt road to look.
