Yo-yo...checking here from SE PA - we open the last weekend in April can only hunt until noon unti May 19, then we can hunt the entire day. We also cannot hunt in Sunday's.
I am really looking forward to this spring as I lost my entire fall hunting season last year, when my Summit broke on 10/21/13; here a thread I started....

I have been hitting the PA hardwoods pretty hard this late winter/early spring, searching for sheds and rehabing my ankle...

I will be doing what I can to get my 10-year old on a bird this spring. I am not sure if he will go with his Infinity Edge or the crossbow, likely the crossbow, but he is really anxious this year. We had a few close encounters last year and he has been hooked.
We need to get some team names going too....
Dawn Patrol
Gobbler Getters
Beard Busters
Spur Collectors
Doesn't really matter to me, just thought I'd send a few ideas out...
I put together a little bio thread so that the member of our 2012 and 2013 deer teams could get to know each other a little, seemed to be a mild success so I thought why not....feel free to add something I may have missed....
