beauhunting season
Da period of da year when gals can legally traipse da countryside in search of "dear" --- i.e., nice guys who'll cuddle up and be sweethearts to them.
Last I knew, beauhunting season was totally "open" (i.e., all year 'round), but Spring is one of da best times to practice it, since it's said dat "young men's thoughts naturally turn to love" in da months following their having been cooped up all Winter.
