Growing up in a small town in Northwestern Pennsylvania, hunting has always been a huge tradition to many families in the area. As a matter of fact, the opening day of rifle season is treated like a national holiday where schools close, and most businesses give their employees the day off. I can remember being in school as a kid before Thanksgiving break and hunting was the main topic the kids and teachers were talking about. We’d tell our favorite hunting stories from previous years and also talk about where we were going and who we’d be going with for the current year. The anticipation was so high for when we all went back to school on Tuesday to hear how everyones opening day went.
