I saw deer heading from Silver Spring to the DC airport back in early December.

They roam the DC suburbs, I am told... Though all I see around here are deer -
lots of them.

Not much where I live, a little I suppose. More out west and farther north.
Coyote hunting is kinda specialized, they hunt mostly at night I think.
We've shot a couple on the farm in Maine. There was one more I should have shot
but I was worried it was somebodies dog. When it turned its head and looked at
me I realized it was no dog but by the time I got the gun up it was long gone.

For me hunting season is super important. I spend a lot of time freezing my
butt off but it gets my body to jumpstart the transition from warm to cold
weather. This year had a couple of particularly brutal days where it wasn't
really that cold but the wind would whip right through me. At this point I'm
okay down into the teens working outside without gloves. Of course I put on my
long underwear first thing in the morning at take it off at bedtime. ;)

I'm amazed at how fast we lose our acclimation such temps cited by Curt.
'Have been out in that and lower many times, but I just went for a short
walk (hobble with 4-wheel walker) around the yard; 'was wearing appropriate
L. L. Bean jacket, but I was glad to get back inside and away from the
breezy 39°F outside. ;<)
