Many hunters likely have November 14th and 15th circled on their calendars, for the opening weekend of the firearms deer season. Randolph County Conservation Agent Zack Barnes is expecting the harvest to be larger than last year.

Barnes says now would be a good time to make sure your gun is sighted in.

The firearms deer season runs from November 14th through November 24th. The archery season continues through November 13th, and then resumes following the firearms deer season until January 15th.
