Default RE: A little about you & your camp...

Well it depends on whats going on. Most of the time I am hunting alone or with my dad during archery season. Then in rifle season my grandpa will come along with us, and sometimes my uncle. The during ML season, I either go back to solo again or I can go down south and hunt with a different uncle and a few of his buddies.

There are a couple different properties that I hunt, we haev 10 acres at our house, then my grandpa owns a piece of land that is 20 acres that we hunt. Then the first uncle I mentioned owns other 20 next to two farms where I can hunt, so I would say there is another 200 acres there. Finally the uncle I go ML hunting with has permission to hunt over a 1000 acres to hunt in various locations. We do a lot of drives down there so we need lots of places to go.

As for when I hunt, it all depends on if I get a deer or not. Last year I barely hunted at all because I got my buck on the second day of archery, a doe on the first day of rifle, and the shed antler buck on the third day of ML (first day I really hunted). What I plan to hunt each year is a lot different then that really lucky year last year. I plan to hunt every weekend of archery, plus about 3-4 evenings during the week, (can't play soccer due to injury so I have to find something to occupy my time), Then again during rifle, the first day plus two saturdays and maybe the second day depending on how things are going. Then when the last flintlock season rolls around after Christmas, I have about 10 days off from school, so I plan on hunting all of those and any evenings or weekends I need to fill my tags.

In addition to the deer hunting days, I am going bear hunting for the first time this year, and maybe elk if I draw a tag (crossing my fingers and toes) Then I also hunt rabbits, squirrels, turkeys, groundhogs, crows, and my girlfriend said she'd take my pheasent hunting for the first time this year.

All of this is done in NW PA. And the part I love......
$9--license
$16--bear stamp
$6--doe tag
$6--bonus doe tag (possible)
$10--elk drawing
$25--if drawn for elk tag (possible)

So if my math is correct....at least $41...up to $71..but thats all for all of that fun.
