Thousands of hunters are out across Pennsylvania for the first day of deer season.
The season started around sunrise Monday. The Scranton Times-Tribune reports about 750,000 hunters are expected to be out across the state for the biggest day of the hunting season.
Game officials estimate that about 60 percent of the anticipated harvest will be taken Monday.
Jerry Feaser, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Game Commission, says that while interest in hunting has declined due to a generational divide, the number of hunters appears to be up over last year.
