Early season antlerless

[azsearch]

Does anyone have any tips for hunting the early October antlerless season. I plan to hunt just north of the metro on a WMA. It will be my first time deer hunting.

Also, I really crowded out there during October.

Thanks for the help

If you find a food source the deer are using you shouldn't have a problem finding does & fawns...As for how crowded it is, I would guess??? Not Very...you can go on the DNR HSOforum's deer hunting page and check out the stat's from last year....I don't know what area you'll be hunting but last year in permit area 225...218 deer were harvested in the early anterless...area 227 there was 81, area 236 = 85 and there were 45 taken in 601....if you compare these numbers to the "regular season" stat's it doesn't "appear" to be alot of pressure....
