From the desk of Senator David Pearce
As the fall weather begins, it is typical for thoughts to lead to those fall outdoor activities, such as hunting. There are many opportunities to participate in that ever-popular sport around the 31stSenatorial District.
Many folks look forward to deer season every year. And with good reason. Not only is a test of skill, but venison can help fill many freezers with nutritious meat. Regular firearm season for deer will run from Nov. 10 through Nov. 20 this year. However, archery, or bow, season has already begun. That season stretches from Sept. 15 to Nov. 9 and will resume on Nov. 21 and run until Jan. 15, 2013. Archery season for turkey runs the same dates as deer, with the fall firearm season taking place from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31.
