A family tradition continues
Late in the day yesterday my 13 year old grandson got his first buck---with bow and arrow
Fittingly he was with his father so they could share the experience together. Last year he missed one with a gun in one of my fields. This one was in Md near his home.
I will be hunting with my 11 year old granddaughter in rifle season. I have three sons who are spaced in age so that I was hunting with one of them for six years---and I prefer to hunt alone. I have to admit I was ready to move on when that period ended--now the thought of entering that again is something I look forward to.
Deer hunting in Pa is still a right of passage to many but the numbers decline year over year.
