GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — Some hunters got a head start to the season opener with a favorite tradition early Friday morning.
They went out to Fleet Farm for the store's 10th annual Orange Friday.
"A typical day for us for Orange Friday is customers coming in at 6 a.m. and we open the doors an hour early for everybody to partake in the festivities and the first 500 customers in our store today receives this cool Fleet Farm hat and a lot of them have been collecting them for the last 10 years," said Jose Chavez, assistant manager at Fleet Farm Green Bay East.
Wisconsin's gun deer season starts Saturday and runs through November 28th.
"We see new hunters, old hunters with a tradition that's passing on from generation to generation from young to old that are definitely taking on hunting as more of a tradition rather than a sport," Chavez said.
