Cant speak for 2G but in 2F,some of which is considered north central,hunter numbers have been going downhill for at least 10-15 years. Especially in the rifle season. When I bought my camp in 1978, the town of Tionesta was in gridlock from the Saturday after Thanksgiving till around Tuesday night and camps were lit up all through the first week. Now it gets hard to find a hunter in the woods after about 2 PM on opening day.Most camps are dark byMonday night and the only period of high car traffic in front of my camp occurs between 10 AM and 4 PM on the first day. Allthe trucks are loaded up and headed home.All this started many years ago and has steadily declined every year.
