As you walk outside with a cup of coffee, a frosty breeze hits your face and chills go down your spine as the trek for the morning paper begins. The rising sun sits on the fence slowly melting the frost off the dying grass.

For some, the morning started long before the sun was up. And instead of slippers and a robe, these people are wearing blaze orange and camouflage. Fall in northwest Ohio brings another season with it: Whitetail deer season.
