I think we have 2 seasons. Spring and Fall. I haven’t pursued hunting for the purpose of eating. Lots of photography. I took my wife out to see deer after dinner this evening. Saw 4 large herds feeding an hour before sunset. All mule deer in that area.
Sounds like a beautiful area. One thing about turkeys; they have great eyesight, so you have to really pay attention to your camo. I’ve had coyotes walk within a few feet of me while camo’d up and hunting turkeys, and on the same hunt, after calling up a turkey, he wouldn’t come within 100 yards of me.
