I know it's been discussed before here, but no trip to deer camp is ever complete without a run over to Grice's Gun Shop in Clearfield. The weekend before the opener it's like a zoo over there. Parking is a relative term, and is done where ever you can find it. It's a good sized shop with a lot of used and new guns and supplies. The atmosphere is one of optimism as all the guys are chomping at the bit to hit the woods on Monday morning. The old knife guy is always set up out in the parking lot sharpening all the hunting blades. The line at the counters are long, but no one seems to mind. I'm sure this same scene is repeated in hundreds of little gun shops in all the little mountain towns throughout the state. It truly is a great time to be a hunter.
