“Dismiss all of us who remember how, on the first day of deer season, our high school classrooms were half empty ....” Here in rural "clinging to guns and religion" Pennsylvania (although just 90 minutes from the DC beltway) all the schools are CLOSED on the opening day of buck season. Can't get enough substitute bus drivers and teachers, for one thing.

“Dismiss all of us who remember how, on the first day of deer season, our high school classrooms were half empty ....” Buck fever took quite a toll. In South Louisiana it was the first day of Duck Hunting season. Back in the 60s it was not uncommon for us to have our shotguns in our vehicles at school and go hunting after school let out. We respected the weapons and did not use them inappropriately.
How times have changed and not for the better, it makes you sad.
