Steve Piatt: Hunting deer, and dodging them with the truck, on trips to Pa.

I was pretty confident I’d kill a deer this season, especially as the whitetail rut kicked into high gear. I just wasn’t sure whether it would be with my crossbow or my Dodge Ram.
It’s true. In my decision to abandon a tree stand just up the hill from our home, saving the spot for my wife, Paula, during rifle season, I resigned myself to a 40-minute drive down the road into an Albany Township, Pa., hot-spot I was sure would yield at least a doe, but perhaps a buck or bear.
