Hunting opportunities in late November/December???

[Brandon.miller.4]

Due to my job and limited vacation for 2024 I'm looking for a trip to take between November 26th and December 23rd. I typically go in sept/Oct for deer or elk but that's not in the cards this year. Ill be traveling from ND. Looking for hunting opportunities that I may not have thought of or unique species that I don't typically hunt. Open to ALL suggestions! Predators, exotics, late season elk or deer, etc. Let me know what you think of or what you have local to you!

Pa rifle deer season falls in that time period

OTC Colorado plains elk and OTC Colorado mountain whitetail.

Have you hunted the otc plains elk? Is it something where I would have to find landowner permission or are there units/areas where a guy can find success on public?

No, but I would if I wasn't busy in the winter and wanted to do some exploring. I know some people who do and they are split between public/private. They are also hunting "plains" that are not. There's some really cool country with frontier history that is where I would start.

The whitetail hunt is the same thing, I'd go do it if I had some spare time and I think I'd stand a fair chance at being successful.

Some of the ranches in Texas had exotics you can hunt year round or our whitetail season ends in January. Might be worth a look depending on budget.

Why not do some predator/bird hunting up in your neck of the woods?

West texas for a variety of species. Nebraska muzzleloader deer, upland (maybe turkey?), predators, ducks, and do a few days of ice fishing if you’re into that and time it.

Ohio deer rifle season or maybe on of the southern states bow/rifle seasons would work.

Pig hunt in north central Texas is reasonable and drivable!

I do that regularly throughout the year! It's good don't get me wrong but there's alot of adventure to be had and I'd like to do at minimum 2 trips a year in New places or for new things!

I get that, I am just lazy and hate traveling.

I'd look into a late November early December deer hunt in Saskatchewan if I were you. Or a December lion hunt. Those are an absolute blast as well.

Wisconsin deer

What about ducks down in the timber in Arkansas? I’ve never done it but it seems like it would be fun.
