Depending on which zone the WMA is in, season starts at different times. Even though the State allows us to begin hunting white tails earlier, we don’t generally start until the beginning of November. We like for the weather to cool down somewhat so there are fewer bugs and our white tail deer begin to experience pre-rut.
