Early 2B archery

You can hunt antlerless, archery, starting September 19th in 2B. That's super early, it seems like.

yeah its about an hour drive for us. im worried about the meat spoiling. hopefully if its cool we can get out

yea i hunted the 2b early season last year and it was still very warm out, lots of bugs, and its still very hard to see far cause everything is very grown up still 

Is there something wrong with Doe that early? The meat I mean.

I'm looking forward to getting out early with the Bow.

Is it really that bad? Bug wise and all?

This is my Sophmore Archery year, looking to soak up any info I can.

No I'm just ranting....
I guess the two early weeks is ok for meat hunters..
I always use my archery time to hunt for bucks and take a doe in Dec gun seasion for the freezer!!!!

Maybe some folks who want to put meat in their freezer want to do it then instead of December when they could be hunting bucks.
 
Hunting does early makes more sense, as the same doe will eat lots of food between September and December stocking up for winter.
 
The 2B is about herd reduction and spooking does into areas you cn't hunt while wait for a buck does not help herd reduction.
 
If the doe hunters are spooking YOUR buck into sanctuary areas, he'll be bigger next year.
 
Me personally, I really don't like to hunt when it's warm, but to each their own.  I'll kill my 3-5 does in 2B after you can drop 'em and wait for more.w_w.

NOTHING WORKS AS WELL AS 'THE CELL"

Seems like the last couple of years, even with the normal season dates, it has been hot in early October.  My '05 and '06 bucks I had to ice down and I got them in the first two weeks of the season.  Shot my '07 buck in Dec. so no worries and didn't see anything I liked last year.  Just make sure you have those large, black plastic liner bags and after you gut the deer out, stop at the nearest convenience store or wally world and buy 80lbs+ of ice.  I just get 4 of the bigger bags (I think they are 22 lbers).  I stuff 2 inside the cavity then put one garbage bag over the front end of the deer and throw in a bag of ice and put one bag over the back end and throw in a bag.  They sat overnight like this until the butcher shop opened up in the AM and there was still plenty of ice left and the meat was cool/cold.  All tasted fine after I got it back from the butchers.  I sprayed down with deep woods Off before I started to gut the deer in the field but that will only keep away the ticks and skeeters.  Black flies and "no see ems" don't get scared off by the Off....You won't see me out in the woods until I can take a crack at the bucks though, no matter what the weather is doing.
