Just double checked the regs and season dates and yep, it looks like the private land January doe hunt is gone. I'm sad about that since a goal of mine is to kill a deer in the snow.
I sure had a great time hunting in the cold and snowy weather the last week of January 2024. I seen tons of activity and it was just nice to break out some cold weather gear and sit in the stand. I really wished TWRA would have left this alone. I took a lot of pictures.
I hate that. I've been trying to get one in the snow with my old smoothbore, but a flintlock can be finicky in the cold, I guess. Six does came out about 30 yards, all I got was a klatch! Not even a flash in the pan. Had a good time though.
Dang I hate that. I usually look forward to that hunt as I get to sit around and relax knowing I don't have to wait for the biguns and just shoot the first thing that comes around.
