RE: Pa deer count day 1
I envy you guys that got the opportunity to get out on Saturday! The weather was perfect. I had the kids while my wife was running in a 5K race. It was her first race since high school (almost 20 years ago) - I'm proud of her! My son's birthday party is next Saturday, then the wife has another 5K the following Saturday. Needless to say, it'll be a few weeks before I get out.
I ran out to get a pizza around 6:30 on Saturday and counted 49 deer (50 if you include the decoy I saw in a cut field)...only two bucks (six pointers). It was a six mile stretch through cut cornfields in Bucks County.
The decoy was in a field that I usually see a real nice 9-pointer inon my way to work in the morning...I wish the guy luck - he's a real brute.
My hands were shaking by the time I got home with the pizza. I had "buck fever" and I wasn't even in my stand!
Best of luck!
