I believe it is now bow season in Pennsylvania, when deer hunting only by means of archery is permitted. This is kind of popular where I live, and a former neighbor, who is quite skilled at this type of hunting, invited me once to go along. He explained that we were to leave Saturday morning at 4:00 AM, park near the woods around 5:15 AM, hike through the woods with flashlights for another 40 minutes until we get to his spot, which was a couple of sturdy pine trees. We would then climb the trees where his stands were, and wait until the deer come, sometimes until dusk. If you get a clear shot with the bow, you better get ready to move because those deer can haul for a while with an arrow in them.

I declined, slept til 8:30, drank beer and watched football. He came back with a deer that evening. He had a great time, but I would have been bored. Anyhow the deer rendered some tasty steaks, ground meat and bologna.
