So - if we hunt on top of Red Rock Moutain, would we have to be on the side that Ricketts Glen State Park is on? We are across the street (487) from the park.
I hunt Carbon County mostly, 3D and 4C, in Hickory Run SP and Wild Creek reservoir. There are plenty of bear, not much deer, unless you hunt private lands. Public lands are hunted hard.
My in-laws live in Bear Creek Lake neighborhood right on 903 near Tavern on the Top. We're there all the time but I never hunted there. We have a lot of bears up in Sullivan County, too. They were becoming nuicance bears for a while. I wouldn't mind having an extra few days to hunt them this year.
Anyone Hunt NE Pennsylvania?
