There’s not much support for it from the hunters, processors and taxidermists I talk to. There may be some, but they’re not expressing it. There’s a substantial kill in February. One processor I’ve got a good relationship with took in almost as many deer those 10 days as they did opening week and Christmas week. They had several days with 45-75 deer in February. They took in 56 the last day.

I never had an opportunity to hunt NA until February. Hunted only one other day down in Chambers county when I stopped at a friend's place on the wat back home from a work trip.
