There are hunters on this board in your area, but deer season is just about over. The only animals left to hunt are predators, hogs, squirrels, and a few other odds and ends.

I'd check into the the WMAs in your area and maybe see if you can get in on a group hunt like this one http://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/hog-hunts.1069095/#post-5394117

If you ever start you will become addicted, as much if not more fun than deer hunting! When you get one come in gobbling it's head off you will be hooked. It's more of a chess game than deer hunting but thats what makes it fun.

Yep comes in gobbling it's head off, makes you smile and then you shoot it's head off, lol.
(Something doesn't sound right about that!)

Yes I want to, but I always get wrapped up in yote and hog hunting after deer season, and they keep me busy. I do get turkey on my property though...

Thanks for the info.I heard certain counties have extended archery until late January.I'd like to find a place in those counties and possibly a private lease for deer season next year
