Is five deersightings per day a bad day hunting?Pa hunters have been spoiled for way too long because the hunting was easy.You say you've hunted the same hill all your hunting years.There in lies the problem.Food conditions,cover, and pressure all change things.During a 20 year period,you can't expectthe habitat or the hunting conditionsto stay thesame.If you were used to seeing 30 deer per day in one spot,your area most likely had way too many deer for too long and that's most likely the reason they aren't there any more.How would you like the PGC to micromanage you're little piece of ground to satisfy you while at the same time,managing the rest of the state?

I rarely if ever see more than 5 deer a day from my stands in archery season.What would be an exceptable amount to you?

Hunting is exactly that.You need to scout for the best places to hunt because nature doesn't stay static.Try it this year.It will be much more rewarding.
