The first light on Saturday morning will signal the start of arguably the biggest day of the year for many hunters in the area. That’s right folks, firearm deer season is finally here.

I suppose I should be enjoying the warm weather, but as a deer hunter there’s only one thought that crosses my mind this time of year. It’s not the weather heating up; it’s the deer mating season, aka “the rut.”

The leaves are changing colors, the days are getting cooler, and the smell of fall is in the air. It can only mean one thing to an upland bird hunter: pheasant season is right around the corner.
