Weekly Harvest

Happy Friday before my first evening in a stand! I was supposed to be in a stand last Saturday however, adult responsibility got in the way. To say I’m looking forward to getting back in a stand is an understatement! The season at the farm doesn’t open for another week, so I’ll be trying my hand at a new piece of public ground. With my scouting trip to Ohio in the books and other family obligations, I’ve only been able to scout this new piece of PA public land online. We’ll see how quickly I can assess things once I put boots on the ground Saturday afternoon.

Good luck to everyone headed to the timber this weekend/next week, and enjoy this week’s rendition of the best whitetail related news articles from the world whitetail web!
