Yeah.... I asked a buddy in CO about this recently and he basically told me the same thing...
I guess that's why so many of us from the south just stay here to hunt. We can hunt deer with a rifle from mid October until Mid February and if we hunt muzzleloader and/or bow we can get anoter month and a half... We're spoiled...
Granted our deer aren't as big or as plentiful as some areas but we have all we need and great weather to boot.
