Alden School district, we used to get the first day of pheasant and the first day of deer off as an authorized absence. Bet they don't do that anymore. Probably the most fun deer hunting I've done was in Kentucky. I had access to plenty of land and enjoyed still hunting with a .44 mag Ruger carbine. Brush country and a lot of up and down. Good exercise, and always fun to spend a day alone in the woods once in a while. You see a lot of things if you're willing to look.
