I know the herd is down somewhat in Warren County where we hunt when at camp. The number of hunters is also down. There are deer there though and some really nice bucks too. Success in the mountains is sometimes dependant on the number of hunters in the woods pushing the deer around. Second day was always hard because there were no hunters around to push them to you. Mountain deer seem to be more sensitive to pressure and harder to hunt one on one. Where I hunt at home has never been better. My Dad, two brothers and I all tagged out in archery on bucks this year. We have never come close to that in years past. The good 'ole days are here and now for buck hunting in PA...in my opinion. (Where I hunt at least)
