    Indiana season ends January 1st. I'll still be heading out trying to fill my last doe tag. Having a LW hang-on and sticks in the late season is awesome. Just follow the food and you will find the deer.

    Finished my last final at 9:30am this morning. From here till January 2nd I will hunt as much as possible. Should get at least 10 sits in between now and then I am hoping to get in around 15-18. Then we have an urban archery season. I think it is in Febuary. I am still trying to figure out everything and hope I can do a few hunts then. My food plots have finally started getting hit and I am going to hunt near one of them today.

    Our season ends on January 26 or 28th, I cant remember right now. And I haven't put one down yet so YES I will definitely be out until my 3 doe and 1 buck tags are full. Then bring on spring turkey. Then its on to coyotes.

    I'm going out this weekend. If the weather doesn't cooperate and I don't see a lot, I have one last vacation day I have to burn before Jan. 1st. I have a doe and a buck tag to use still, and I don't like my odds.

    yeah we've got till mid Jan and you can bet you will find me in a tree at day break and dusk! the late season is when everyone else gives up around here so it's the best time to sit.

    I think I will go out and get one more doe, but then its time to move on to coyotes. The place I hunt most, they are practically begging me to shoot a bunch of them. I'm more than happy to oblige :tu:

    Have every thing scheduled to hunt December 27th and 28th in Buffalo County WI. I am even lucky enough to have gutone4me(Pat) as my camera man. He has had a great season, hopefully we will be able to use some of his luck.

    I'm out of tags so my season is over. From here on out I'll just be checking trail cameras, pulling down stands, trimming some lanes for next year, enjoying time with the family and watching a lot of football. :rock:

    I have from Dec 16 to Jan 3 off work. :) I hope I tag out early here in Idaho so I can do some scouting/shed hunting before I take off for ND. :)

    Every chance I get, which are getting fewer and fewer. But I'll be out a couple weekends yet before January 15th.

    Can't go this weekend tho. My daughter is Graduating from College in 3-1/2 years on Saturday.

    I'll be hunting until the end of our archery season on February 5th. Last year I shot a doe on the last day of the season. Gotta love being in an urban antlerless zone with multiple doe tags.

    Shot two this year - one of each farm where I killed my bucks. The overall deer population seems to be a bit down so I'm not shooting any more than that. Gotta save a few for next year!

    Going next week for two days and a few times in the last week of December. Mostly scouting this week when I have off, though.

    I really haven't been out near as much as I had hoped. I'm planning on going out tomorrow tho'. 25mph winds be damned.

    I'll be out this weekend and for the last week of the season here in WI. Still a lot of good bucks running around up here, hopefully I can find one that hasn't shed already.

    I don't know where to post this...so here goes. I will try to get some does with my bow, and will most likely skip the late Illinois shot-gun season and just do bow straight through until Jan 15th. But, when that time comes, can I use a muzzel-loader on coyote? I know you can use a shotgun slug on coyotes in the deer seasons, but I don't think you can use a slug gun for coyote the rest of the year. So...can I use the muzzel loader just for coyote?
