BTB - I would like to come up there some day on a decent hunt.
I know there's some nice deer up there.We have many PA guys come down here to vacation at our beaches in summer.Struck up conversations with many of them to the point that what I read here I add a heavy dose of salt or simply disregard.

Have yet to hear the disaster/conspiracy stories I hear on this forum.
Matter of fact majority say AR is a good thing up there.

I hunted up there in the late 70's as a non res.Deer everwhere !!
My Father inlaw,bro in law and nephew went up there for 2 days about 5 yrs ago and said they would never go back - ever!This was a fantastic private farm chocked full of deer but no discipline with the local yo-yo's in letting certain animals pass.Matter of fact all you had to do was wait for the yo-yo's from very large adjacent WMA push the deer to farm.
Pick a decent deer(Buck or doe and take it).

Now - what I'm saying here doesn't come from the PGC or supposed Crappy data that consumes this forum it comes 1st hand.

This is not to say there aren't some legit problems up there.We have them down here in certain areas as does every state.The days of deer behind every tree are over-done up there and down here and our MD neighbors.

It just aint' like it was 10-15-20 yrs ago.
