We'll be doing the aerial surveys when we get a decent snowfall. We need the snow on the ground to be able to see the deer.

Chances are pretty good that a deer traveling alone is a buck, either one that has shed its antlers or a young buck.

The things you have to remember using rifles is to practice because it will be a little different than your shotgun. Also, always be sure you have a good backstop before you shoot because the ammunition from a rifle carries further than a shotgun slug.

If there is standing corn or a food plot, that's a good place for deer to come and feed in the afternoon, and that would be a good place to hunt.

Based on the fact we sold more than 34,000 more licenses than the year before, we believe we have had a record number of deer killed.
