Oh man! Tomorrow is opening day of rifle season for deer here in PA. Hunters have been streaming into the camps around the area while some have stayed over from the bear season of last week. You can hear them sighting in their rifles all day yesterday and again today.
The weather tonight is supposed to deteriorate with freezing rain turning to all rain by morning. I’ve got tags for two deer—a buck and a doe. While I don’t have to travel anywhere—I’ve 17 acres at the Aerie (most of it's very, very sloped) and another 20 adjacent acres that I’ve been told I could hunt on. Then again, I’ve already got two deer in the freezer and I’m feeling no pressure to even carry my rifle outdoors.
If I do go out, I’m hoping pressure on surrounding lands will push a deer or two my way. Pennsylvania requires at least three points on one side for a buck to be legal. That’s one of the reasons I picked up a doe permit. If I don’t fill either tag, I won’t feel badly.
