RE: Do you have late season success?
The biggest buck I have ever taken was on the last day of Maryland's deer season = JANUARY 31, 1998. I had hunted the day before and missed a shot at a smaller buck. I'm glad I missed because I probably wouldn't have gotten into the same tree that last day. The reason I wanted to go back was because I had, besides the small buck, 22 deer walk past my stand.
Last year I think I shot about 8 deer after the first of the year. Most were does due to the needs/desires of the property owners.
This will give you an idea of how last season hunting can be. Good luck if you decide to hunt.

RE: Do you have late season success?
Been hunting one piece of land for many years and always, after gun, deer hunting can be very dismal. I've hunted 3-4 days a week all of December without even seeing a deer. That place has a ton of gun pressure around it though. I hope the new place I'm hunting this year is like the rest of you guys say - deer spotting good when they settle down. We'll see. It's cold, but quite tranquil 24' up an oak tree being able to see the whole woods. Gotta love it.
