GLTPA's Director's Notes
November is a month with many special days including the beginning of daylight savings time on November 3rd, Veterans Day on November 11th, and Thanksgiving Day on November 28th. It is also a month when many sportsmen take to the forest in search of a trophy buck or doe to put meat in the freezer in preparation for winter. Other types of hunting are also open including grouse and woodcock season.
