I do and love it. I have two weeks off Christmas thru New Years and plan to hunt everyday I can. Deer are starting to calm back down a little by then.

Hunting the late season usually means hunting a solid food source, bucks are mostly resting up from the rut and searching for food to get fattened up for the winter ahead. Watch your moon phase for daytime activity and just sit and be patient.

I know we're still in early archery now until end of Nov, but do we have to buy a late archery tag?

Late archery starts my doe season and you never know you might find a good buck. I agree with the rest, hunt food sources or travel routes from the bedding area to the food source. If you didn't fill you early archery tag it doesn't expire until 1-4-09.

I hunt the late archery season. Don't get to go much during early season do to college. But have had plenty of opportunities during the late season to harvest deer sometimes though you have to tough out the weather.

With the way things are going for me I will most certainly be hunting the late season.

I hunt it, its tough though. Not much cover left to conceal your movements. One of them pop up blinds with a heater inside would be nice to have  |

I'm usually pretty selective during the early archery season, but I tend to look at filling the freezer during the late season. I'll still let any small bucks walk, but a young tender doe always looks good wrapped up in little white paper packages.

Late Archery is when the deer in town here start yarding up in the town parks/natural areas.
That's what/when/where I'll be hunting.
That and I can actually hang/process my deer in Late - unlike the beastly hot early season.

Stay on the food and you will kill a doe no problem... I will be hunting late archery this year because I still have 2 tags to fill.... and if I don't manage to score a buck in gun or ML season then I will be after some horns...
The thing that I learned (from a friend who learned it the hard way) is that once ML season is over... take about any buck that comes by during late archery... because they start dropping head gear and you may end up with out one...

One of my favorite times to hunt all season, never miss it. Snow, cold, peace and quiet, a beautiful time to enjoy nature's wonder.

By then I am normally hunted out!

I have hunted everyday so far and will continue until the end of the season. The last 2 weeks of season I am out of school so I get 16 days sitting all day will give me around another 170 hours in the woods.
