To all to of you always saying deer season should start later and end later you have never deer hunted much in January. I hunted my Dads farm in Taylor Co. on the 13 &14 and it was awful! I saw one doe in 3 hunts. In October and November we see an average of 6. Now I know some of you are saying well the deer are still moving there is just not as many of them. There has been 1 buck and 3 does killed this season off of 2500 acres surrounding us. Only 2 people hunt the 2300 acres around us and they only shoot monster bucks my dad killed the 3 does. This is land that has produced 5 bucks over 140" in the past 3 years and one 165" deer in the 90's. My point this is excellent land that has a ton of deer and I hunted three hunts and saw one doe. You can have deer hunting in January. I'll trade you 1 day in October or November for the whole month of January! And for all of those always complaning about the heat in the early season deer still move then and move well. You just have to hunt to see them!
