“Don’t judge a book by its cover!” I dare say that is one of the best-known adages in the English language; yet I admit to doing this all the time — and what’s more, doing it proudly. After all, it’s not much fun reading ugly books. What I mean is: A handsome cover can substantially enhance the pleasure of many days spent with a good novel.

Pennsylvania’s black bear hunting seasons will soon begin, and black bears can be hunted in several seasons. The regular statewide firearms season will run from Nov. 21-24, the statewide archery season is Oct. 17-25, and the statewide muzzleloader and special firearms bear season is Oct. 22-25. There are also some special and extended firearms seasons, but you should check your Hunting and Trapping Digest for details on those special seasons.

It is a smorgasbord for sports fans as the calendar flips to October. The NFL is underway, collegiate D-1 teams begin their conference seasons, the NBA and NHL open up later this month, the high school football season enters its second half and the 162-game marathon MLB season has given way to a 13-win sprint to determine which of its 12 playoff teams will claim the World Series crown.

Pennsylvania’s statewide archery season opens on Oct. 3 and runs to Nov. 20 and then again from Dec. 26 to Jan. 24. In some WMUs to the south of us, the archery season started on Sept. 19. Needless to say, there will likely be a pretty good number of hunters heading out, but that wasn’t always the case. Pennsylvania had its first archery season in 1951, and only 5,542 people purchased a license at a cost of $2.00, and it was for bucks only.

Growing up is hard. Parenting is also tough. Teach wears the pants. I am super soft. Jensen is now a Senior. Where did the time go? He is a talented kid, but he has some flaws. Jensen looks like Mom, but he is starting to act like me. The kid is weighing his options. The pressures are mounting. Where are you going to college? Do you have any ideas on what you want to study? What are your plans after graduation? The three of us have struggled with this transition. We have been on a few visits.

The sweltering heat of summer and the days after days of wet weather, followed by the high humidity of July and August, are finally behind us. The last several days of much cooler temperatures and less humidity are a welcome relief and a sign that fall is upon us. The arrival of fall ushers in what many outdoor enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting.

Even though the Pennsylvania archery season begins in a few short days, it extends all the way to January 24, 2027, and with almost 79 days of archery hunting available, it is not too late to take up the sport. Any new endeavor can sometimes be intimidating and always involves a learning curve of some sort, but in the case of taking up the sport of bowhunting, the rewards are endless, and the process of becoming proficient can be a pleasant experience as well.

There’s no better time of year to get out and about and enjoy all the outdoors have to offer in our little neck of Penn’s Woods. And yes, my title is from Luke Bryan’s hit song. The lyric pretty much sums up how so many of us feel and only wish we had more time to enjoy all God’s green Earth has to offer. A few serious notes before I move on to one of my favorite contests. First up, a simple one that gets complicated every hunting season. Please respect the property boundaries of your fellow man.
