Shouldn't your title have been "Oh my gods"?
Anyways, I will get mine in the next three weeks.
You would think, but the deer go into rut unmated and will cause many problems. They are half crazed at this time and I've even had them run smack dab into the side of my truck on slower roads, like they were attacking it. Also, the mated bucks will impregnate many does, and the unmated or roe deer get prolific and can tear up property as well as cause traffic problems.
These large bucks we see just before season starts are smart, and won't be found when the season opens. This is why they get to be so old. We cull the roe, and it helps keep the population tidy. We do have a doe season, but it is a much shorter span of time.
