-There is a two week long deer season starting the Monday after Thanksgiving. This has traditionally been buck season, but this year hunters can shoot a buck or a doe if they have the proper tags. This was introduced to help lower the the amount of does in the deer herd. Pennsylvania has a high doe to buck ratio. This is a good time to either sit in a tree-stand, as the other hunters push the deer towards you. It pays to hang a stand near the thickest cover you can find because big bucks will head to the thickest cover they can find when the shooting starts on opening day. Come opening day 1 million deer hunters will pursue America's number one big game animal, the Whitetail deer. During this season Pennsylvania's deer hunters take more deer than any other state.

--There is a late archery and muzzleloader season starting the day after Christmas. This is a nice time to hunt because there are few hunters in the woods and with the snow on the ground the deer are easy to see.
