Default RE: Lawsuit challenges policies on PA deer

I posted exactly which gamelands I hunt on in another post in this thread. Here are the main points, repeated for your benefit.

I don't know where you hunt, but I could use the company.
I hunt state gamelands number 81, nearly all of which is in Huntingdon County. Here is a link to a PDF map of the gamelands.

I don't think I ever get a mile away from the road, but do sometimes walk well over three miles from my cabin when still hunting. If you are hunting in an area where you can't get more than a hundred yards away from other hunters, try my gamelands, but be prepared to climb some steep and rough stuff. It isn't too far from Altoona. Now, on the negative side, our buck/doe ratio is quite low. I saw ten bucks during rifle season, but only thirty total deer. This suits me just fine, but it might not suit you. I did talk to some of the guys who usually hunt in this gamelands and they were complaining that they weren't seeing any deer at all. I have no reason to dispute what they or you are saying.
Here is a photo of a buck taken by a youngster I took out the first day. It was his first. He is 14.


I will add one other photo. This is of the buck I shot on Thursday of the second week of rifle season. Notice that the hair is completely gone from the right rear quarter. I had to drag him about a mile through the rocks. Not braggin'. You asked.
