Yeah the first part of the season is going to be slow for me. I will be fishing a little bit up until the 2nd week of October or so and with work along with training for my new job, it's going to be tough to put near the seat time in that I usually do.
My goals for deer season this year are, harvest a doe for the freezer in the month of October. Then hunt as much as I can possibly get out during the rut in hopes of harvesting a mature buck. If the opportunity does not present itself, December and January I will shoot the next mature doe that comes in and fill a 2nd tag for the freezer.
With the time that I'm going to have available, I will be satisfied with two deer this year, either sex. But it only takes one night, and I'm saving a little hole that has been good to me in the past for peak rut, it is all the way surrounded by corn!
