Deer hunting season is pretty much over. In a few places, you can still take a bow out for another month or so, but there’s no doubt that the season is wrapping up.
Regardless of whether you’ve had a great year or a disappointing one, all of us deer hunting fanatics are wondering what in the wild world of sports we’re going to do with ourselves.
Though most non-hunters probably scoff at such a notion, the period between deer seasons is tough for us hunters to take. Think about it: we spend every single waking hour of our free time focused on hunting during the season and once it’s gone we’re left feeling empty.
Bills due? “So what, I’m on my way to the deer stand”
Car’s got a flat? “Oh, well, I take the truck hunting anyway.”
