Hold up. Hahaha, I got the opposite impression, that earlier hunts would be better due to having the snow narrowing down the possible places they could be and hunt the freshest green up below the snow.... Now I need some clarification because I can go early or late haha.So much awesome info on here really appreciate all of the knowledge getting passed on. I see everyone suggesting late season hunts but my only opportunity is the last week of April and first week of May. Was hoping to hunt the panhandle. Anyone have any suggestions for making this work or am I just going to be on a sightseeing trip?
