Default RE: When is your gun season? How does it affect your bowhunting?

Here in PA, it falls around the first two weeks of December. We have special youth days and muzzleloader days during archery, but they are doe only. Rifle hunting in PA, in terms of affecting archery, I believe causes deer activity to really cut down for our late archery season (Jan). The accumulation of 3 months of activity, and two weeks of HEAVY activity makes most deer travel take place at night. My trail cam photos the last two winters have shown just that. There are exceptions to this "rule" especially on blistery cold days, or just before a big front moves in.
