As the beautiful foliage and cooler weather approach Pennsylvania, thousands of deer hunters anticipate the time-honored tradition of Whitetail deer hunting. From late September to mid-January, hunters prepare for their pilgrimage to the forests and fields across Penn’s Woods in hopes of taking one of these magnificent creatures. Pennsylvania has 850,000 deer hunters, the most in the nation, and they harvest 406,000 deer annually and spend $1.5 billion dollars on the sport.
