PA ML deer season Oct. 14-21, 2006

rattus58,

I like your next to last sentence, "even on the last day of hunting season, good hunters are more successful than are poor hunters on the first day of the season."

I have three arms put by for our short 7-day season that begins on October 14. First is a .54 Hawken flinter, a .50 caplock Hawken and a .50 smoothbore Hawken flinter. I have been working with the smoothbore (similiar to a typical Fowler) and have had good results with roundball out to 75 yards. During mid-day I plan on hunting squirrel and grouse with the .50 smoothbore and deer in the dawn and dusk scenario. October is my favorite month and I will hunt everyday I can.
