We were out today. It's Youth Deer Weekend in my state, but we picked an area to go where you quickly gain elevation and get away from the roads. We also try to make ourselves as visible and non-deerlike as possible. Wasn't to hard today against the white of the snow.
We heard about a dozen shots from the road as we were heading back to the trailhead, but otherwise it was nice and quiet all day. It seemed quieter than past years.
Deer rifle season here runs from Nov 15 to 30, so we either just stay home or go to one of three area that are really high up and pretty much have no big game/hunters.
I hope everyone has a safe, fun, and productive season!
