During the early season, food is the name of the game. Whether it is created by man in the form of ag fields and food plots, or in the form of natural browse, bedding to feeding patterns are your ticket to success finding a shooter buck. On this week’s episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, we chat with Mark Dissinger as he shares his 2021 success story about his largest PA buck to date that was killed in early archery season. Typically, most hunters talk about hunting close to food sources in the evening during this time of year. However, Mark has consistently found early season success in his area during the mornings as bucks head back from ag fields and stop to munch on acorns before heading back to bed. As we all know, one of the challenges of bow hunting in early season is facing the heat. All bowhunters strive to prepare themselves for the moment of truth to make a quick and humane kill. However, if you bow hunt long enough you are bound to experience the lowest of lows. Unfortunately for Mark, the recovery of his deer did not go as smoothly as he hoped. But Mark persevered to find his trophy for a bittersweet ending. In addition to the early season hunting strategy, there are plenty of things to take away from this recovery story and help us learn when the unspeakable happens.
