When is deer hunting? Throughout the year we are plagued, or blessed, with seeing multiple white tail deer. Young fawns standing in the back yard during spring. Does and bucks crossing the road inches in front of your car in the middle of the day. A constant reminder of hunting season but we can never seem to remember when that starts.
