i know how hard rifle season is around her in SW pa. by the time it rolls around all the big boys r hidin or just pushed out of the area...less and less hunters every year around here....i also am taking bow hunting VERy seriously this year and hope to get me a nice buck..i have taken 7 deer already an im 16. rifle season is easy if u see the deer...cause if i see the deer he is in the freezer, not a doubt in my mind whether im gonna hit him or not....time to get em with the arrow...
