First day of small game and success.

      Well here in PA. this past Sat. 10-14-17 was the opener of the small game season. The opener starts with squirrel, rabbit, and ruffed grouse. Pheasant starts the following Sat. 10-21-17. New this year one needs a permit to hunt pheasant at $26.90 I don't hunt these that much to put out the extra. The son-in-law and I were in the wood most of the day and we are doing again the 22 mag challenge. I saw one bushy tail and bagged it in the morning. The son-in-law did not see any so we'll try next time out. We hunted an area that I'm familiar with but haven't hunted in quite sometime. I was also scouting the deer sign to see of setting up for this year. We did see a few deer while out.
