HuntCast: September Kickoff - Goose, Dove, and Elk Adventures Begin!

Hunt Cast Podcast

Good morning, Hunt Cast fans! As we roll into September, the cooler temps are finally here. At 52 degrees, it's feeling brisk outside, but that means hunting season is just around the corner. In Pennsylvania, goose and dove seasons have already started, bringing plenty of opportunities for hunters.

For the goose enthusiasts, the season runs from September 2nd through the 25th with an eight-goose daily bag limit. And for those who prefer hunting doves, the season kicked off on September 2nd and will run through November 29th, with a daily limit of 15. The upcoming seasons for both birds promise plenty of action, so gear up and get ready!

As we look forward to archery season in Pennsylvania, which opens in 31 days, the deer are on the move. Bachelor groups are breaking up, and our cameras are capturing solo bucks and doe activity around mock scrapes. If you're using mineral sites, remember to clean them up by tomorrow to comply with state regulations.

Last weekend, we attended Camp Freedom's Summer Salute event, which was a massive success with around 500 attendees and numerous vendors. The deuce and a half truck tours, kids' fishing derby, and Greenleys Barbecue were some of the highlights. This weekend, don't miss their 9-11 Never Forget golf tournament at Woodlock Pines.

Looking ahead, we'll be at High Mountain Archery's Outdoorsman Day on Sunday, September 8th. It's a fantastic event with free access to their 3D and indoor ranges, delicious food vendors, and a two-man scramble tournament. Come join us and enjoy a day of archery and outdoor fun!

We also discussed the importance of proper nutrition and preparation for backcountry hunts. From calorie intake to hydration and first aid, being well-prepared can make all the difference. And remember, safety is paramount, as highlighted by the recent grizzly bear attack on two archers in Idaho. Carrying a sidearm and having the right first aid equipment can save lives.

Stay tuned for more exciting episodes and special guests as we dive deeper into the hunting season. Until next time, enjoy your week and happy hunting!
