Really don't think it is about the season. Heck, if a deer had antlers and I had't shot one some years I would have went in March if I was holding out for one. Take it I never took more than two bucks in a season or one doe. Never been a need for me to shoot one most years. This is the first year I can say in three different counties I have hunted in I actually seen mutiple does or a doe on almost every visit. Yesterday saw a buck following two does in an area I have not seen a buck for years. It's all about folks just need to learn if there is a low density to not shoot every deer they see. I would like to see some WMA's and tracts of private split up and cut back on hunting on the years of a low population until the numbers go up. I learn a long time ago how much damage just one hunter can do to a buck or doe population. Trigger restraint is the key. In a lot of areas, especially those with little or no crops, we just need to find a way to grow more vegetation that will provide more food during the winter months or supplement with something higher in protein than corn.
