Saturday looks like a pretty good day for the last Saturday of the statewide season. I will probably give it a go but not sure I will shoot another doe in flintlock if given the opportunity. I just enjoy being out there. Maybe a dumb coyote will wander past? I still have a 2B tag for late archery which is open till the 29th.

Sissy. I hope and pray for brutal cold in the late season. There is no better hunting if you are in the right spots. I was 18 feet up last Saturday morning and it was 3 degrees. |

Remember when they invented the term Polar Vortex? I went hunting. -16 and -36 with wind chill. Walked with back to the wind with the flinter. Saw like 20 deer, missed 6 times. I was frozen. Best hunt I ever had. |

Thirty, Forty, Fifty years ago I could care less what the weather was, I'm hunting
Not so today, I still have tags for everywhere I hunt. If the weather isn't brutal I'll hunt, if it is, I'll burn the tags.
I could still care less about killing another deer.

Best hunt I ever had. Yes sir. Remember it well. I believe I was out there during that as well. Below zero and deer moving all day. |

I was out for winter bow in NJ -9 in a tree standing on a limb and deer were walking under me and I was so cold I never picked up my bow. Never again. But I did go rabbit hunting here in below 0 weather.... and I actually killed a bunny that day.
My neighbor a dairy farmer told me I was crazy...like it was the first time I heard that NOT.

Hey Peafloo. Surprise surprise. No response from any of the commissioners when I sent them correspondence regarding my input for 2022/23 seasons and regulations.

Windy as heck right now. A check of the wind forecast shows it's gonna decrease from the current 17mph, to about 4-5 mph.
