Every Season is Deer Season


Whether you're in a stand waiting for the presence of a mature trophy buck, or you're taking note of the deer activity on your hunting grounds, there is always something to look forward to with whitetail deer. Think about it; In January, you begin to plot out what you'll be doing throughout the year and most people probably enter the deer draw for a doe tag; In February, you'll start 'shed hunting' to see the racks that have come off of some great bucks; From March - June, some hunters will set up their stealth cams to see if any deer are coming around; In the summer, July and August, you'll start scouting for the deer and study where they're going while collecting useful information like their food source and bedding grounds, setting up your stand shortly after. Then comes the Fall, usually known as 'hunting season' due to the species that are available at this time. And before you know it, you're back in the stand another season. This Fall, here in Ontario, the turkey season is open again. Now, other than looking forward to Spring time for Turkey, we can also look forward to the fall twice as hard - for whitetail and turkey! Times are good. Cherish them.
