CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- With buck hunting season just a few days away, many people plan to hit the woods with rifles in hand.

Several people are cutting back on spending during the uncertain economic times, but some hunters have no plans to tighten their belts.

Gander Mountain in Southridge is among hunting retailers planning for a busy weekend. The store is bringing in all of its workers to deal with last minute shoppers.

Buck season starts Monday and ends Dec. 6. For much more about this story, including comments from hunters, click on the video link above.

amen mike... I would much rather eat a deer that averages out to less than a couple dollars per 100lbs of meat than pay a few hundred for beef, pork, or chicken that is pumped full of roids and who knows what else....

I will put a one dollar bullet in, cut up my own, get 100 pounds of good clean meat that was only touched by me.....

Yeah! Hunting Season! My dogs will be happy. They drag in legs, and even a head from Hunters who must be cutting off what they want and taking it home. Which would mean they are not checking it in. But my dogs are happy and well fed!
