Starting the season on September 19th in SE Pennsylvania. Special regs area early doe. Then heading 125 miles NW to hunt in upstate PA for the regular archery on October 2nd. I will only hunt these two regions.
Money for out of state tags is a good point. But time is another. Work, family and house-hold chores take a lot of time. "The leaves need rakin', the wood needs choppin'....."
I have one striped bass trip planned in November and I'll probably take my son squirrel hunting once or twice so there's 2 or 3 more Saturdays.
But hey, time in the woods and one decent buck would make the season a success!!!
