I like doing my Christmas shopping in late November and December. Seeing all the hustle and bustle and the lights and decorations is a big part of the fun for me. As to the hunting, you've got to remember I can go any day I want all year long. Deer, waterfowl, small game/upland, predators/varmints, it ain't all about deer to me and I enjoy it all. I live where I can hunt right out the back or front door and many places between work and home. I get done with work in time to go hunting afterwards any day I want and often do. I also have every weekend to hunt and I get four days off at thanksgiving and from Christmas eve to the day after New Years all paid.
