I don't get my bow license until until the 22nd but I've done a bit of scouting and seen deer in the Assunpink. Gonna try and get out for some more this Saturday or Sunday.

i probably wont be out until the 29th when my zone opens.i get a whole 3 weeks to hunt then i gotta pay again . im gonna cut out some extra permits this year. will be hunting pennsylvania more this year though to make up. this state is squeezing the hunters . the new permit system is just gonna drive hunters to stay home. i say we all just dont purchase permits this year and send a message. if they really wanted to make money there are so many other options. they just keep making up new permits. its to the point its comical

. you dont get much in return and they just keep touting look at how many deer you can shoot. oh brother! is that what hunting is all about? i called the wildlife supervisors office and they told me because of budget reasons zones 23,18.21 fields are not getting planted again. they arent even managing the land in my opinion. i went down to agway and got a couple 55 lbs of rye seed for 14$ each. your gonna tell me they cant afford it? what are you getting in return?

Did they change something with permits for this year? Do I just have to get my bow license bow zone permit / shotgun license / shotgun zone permit or is there more?

I was talking to one of my friends today and you don't need a zone permit for fall bow? When does that end and you need to buy a permit?

One of my buddies got a fat doe this afternoon so I just got back from helping out with skinning and butchering and now I have fresh venison in my stomach!
