So I went to take a look at spots where I have learned to expect to find the uninvited and illegal bow hunters and the small game folks and then soon enough the deer people and whatever. (Interesting activities occur here occasionally, and hunting season is but one of them. For example, paintball happens occasionally next door — but at least they start with a bullhorn at high noon on a Sunday so I know it's just them!)
I won't go into what all I found outside. Suffice it to say I came inside and did some surfing. Here's some of what I found. The Pennsylvania Game Commission offers fabulous information about all the critters likely to be in my back yard or crossing my little end of the hill. They might well cross your path, too!
These are worth a look and a bookmark!
Wildlife Notes — these are EXCELLENT!
1997/98 Season and Bag Limits — just for the record.
Best of all, one mystery solved!!!! I may have finally figured out what bats have to do with Halloween — they begin to hibernate right around now, so that might be our last chance to see them until next spring! SO keep your eyes open — even though it IS the new moon!
Happy Halloween!
So anyway. Seen any turkeys around your place this week? NO? How about pumpkins? Ghosts? Witches?
ENJOY!
