I can tell you one thing after readin all the negative hype about PA Deer hunting in the last couple years I wouldn't waste a nickel up there on a hunting lisc. You guys have completely turned me and probably many other potential hunters away from PA. Thats a shame.
AJ52 Dont let the chicken littles scare you away. Come on up to Pa and hunt. The north central part of the state wouldnt be my first choice but there is plenty of quality huntable ground open to the public in SW PA.There is a lot of private land and some is posted but most is not. Permission is obtainable to anyone willing to make a small effort on much of the posted ground as well. If you want to hunt SW Pa I can hook you up with some very good areas. Oh and doe tags in 2B are very plentiful.
If you want to hunt public ground with plenty of room to roam and a fair to good deer population, the Allegheny National Forest still produces for hunters who put in the time. I can turn you on to some good areas there as well.
