English: A white-tailed deer (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Pennsylvania’s statewide firearms deer season opens Dec. 1.
The night before often is spent tossing and turning, minds racing excitedly at the possibilities that lie in store.
The morning begins early, with the coffee pot and breakfast griddle heating up well before the mercury in the thermometer.
Parents and children choose their attire based on the conditions that prevail outside, always ending up looking alike, right down to the orange hats and vests.
And maybe, with just a little luck, one of the monster bucks that dashed through the hunter’s imagination the previous night will appear in all its majesty soon after first light.
