I know "late archery" doesn't actually exist since it is open October 1- until Sunday after New Year's, but I still call it late archery.
That being said, I have hunted as much as I could with a busy family life. I have yet to shoot at anything this year. It's my CHOICE, I only go for mature bucks - until now. I have always been this way. Do I still want a big buck? YES!!! However, going at it like I do,now I am "deer" hunting. Time is running out, I won't starve either way. I have actually come to enjoy this time of year, chances aren't as good as they were, but I am in the woods enjoying God's creation.
Good luck and shoot straight!

Now is the best time to hunt. Find the food and you will see deer. Turkeys and deer are very patternable right now.

The chances in late season are better than early season in my opinion.

Agreed. Love hunting in the cold late in the season. Wouldn't mind some snow on the ground. In a way this time of year seems a more peaceful and relaxing time to hunt. Pretty good chance of seeing good numbers most nights as well.

Good luck!!! Enjoy the time outdoors and hit the food sources and their transition areas between bed and food. You'll get one! You may even have a bonus buck cruise by!

-30°F with wind chill in ND today. It's coming this way but won't stay for more than a day and it won't get that cold. Wait until the last week in January.

Hopefully, I can get out once or twice this weekend, I had planned on yesterday evening, but stomach flu had other plans for me!
Good luck.

JDUB wants to go out this weekend and pick up a doe with the rifle so I’m going to get the crossbow back out and see if a nice buck happens along

Settled in for what is likely to be my last hunt of the season. Good luck everyone else still grinding.
