Although Pennsylvania’s statewide archery season ends on Nov. 22, the season here in our neck of Penn’s Woods (Wildlife Management Units 5C and 5D) runs clear through Nov. 29. This year our lingering warm weather appears to have delayed the peak of the whitetail breeding season (aka the rut). So now we can expect a greater number of bowhunters to take to the trees as they attempt to fill their buck tags. Unfortunately, at this late point in Pennsylvania’s bowhunting season on whitetail deer, some of those bow and arrow wielding hunters may be getting a little casual and cavalier with respect to their tree stands.
