guys thanks for the advise and tips. Frank thanks for the kind words.
Mez, Pa requires a hunters ed class before a hunting license can be issued. I plan on taking it this summer / early fall. I sat through the first day last year found it interesting and then got screwed into going to work so I missed the Satuday class. I am sure that I will be able to complete the course before it is too late for this season. I am really looking forward to getting out this year and spend some quality time in the woods during the best part of the year. and maybe even get a buck
