Bear hunting season begins on October 3 and ends on November 21. Deer hunting season begins on November 29 and ends on January 1. It’s time to wear or display orange on our hikes. The Find Outdoors Gift Shop at the Pisgah Visitor center is selling orange vests. The vests have reflective tape sewn in–quite stylish. The price is only $4.95–a real bargain. Supply is limited.
