Default RE: PA opener .......best ever!!!!!

Morning: Passed 3 mature does, saw 5 total no bucks........3 complete idiots walking around together in blaze orange jackets and hats (looked like a father and 2 teenage sons?) SCOUTING!! They walked the entire perimeter of my hunting area, cut across it once 40 yards behind me.[:@]
This is private land too......unfortunately it borders state gamelands and anyone who hunts PA knows the rest of that story.

Evening: Fun. I watched a buck rub a tree for 10-15 minutes in thick brush about 40 yards from my stand......boy he was working it over.
Finally headed my way and bedded down 20 yards in front of me. It was a strange rack, just a big sweeping spike that was actually ear width! with one goofy point near the end of one beam making it a 3pt. Nice looking deer anyway and walked right down my "killin' trail" stopping broadside at 17yds.
Also passed 3 more mature does and saw 2 button bucls as well for 6 deer total.

11 deer total for the first day. No legal bucks but it was entertaining.
I also don't ever remeber the squirrels being soooooooo active in there. Man they were working OT all morning and evening.
Boy I hope they don't have the scoop on a bad winter.
