Im gonna Go ahead and throw this out there.

The Central Part of PA were i hunt, your lucky to see 2 deer a season. Thats just how it is. I personally hunted From early Archery Season to the Late Flintlock season and saw 5 deer. Thats doing Drives, Sitting on stand for hours on end, and All of that. I diddnt have a good year?? but i cant remember one that was much better ither so. The number of deer killed that were brought into our Butcher shop dropped 45% Im hoping to have a better season. Maybe i can score a bigger buck this year, or maybe just see more deer. Id be happy going out and even seeing a deer or two a day, Dont think i was staying at the same spot everyday ither, I hunted, Diamond Valley, Blandburg, Greenwood, Houtzdale, i accully hunted 7 or 8 different places local and diddnt see much there ither. Haha Hunting everywhere i have hunted last year, is a JOKE.

Im gonna try harder this year.
Ryan.

Sounds like you could use a trip to Alberta. Within one month of just rifle hunting i will see at least 300 deer. For me to hear that you are only seeing 5 a year is just mind bogling for me.But hopefully you do have a better year so your freezer will be nice and full. Just curious but did you manage to bag a deer last year??

Wow Ryan you do need an out of state hunt bad brother, You can come to Michigan and see double what you saw all last year in 1 night. But you most likely wont see any monsters either, Ifme and my cameraman tag out in Illinois early you are more than welcome to come up here and I will put you on some deer. Walt

Hi Hatchet Jack
Just wanted to wish you and your team good luck this season , it's funny you were placed on team 12 last year and again this year , maybe 12 is your lucky number.
You got some good team mates with GregH and siikbow26 , there pretty good hunters and I'm sure you guys will have agood chance at the title.

Thanks RD same to you, maybe #12 is my lucky# . That could maybe mean a 12point buck might walk under my treestand this year:DMan My7 thats a bleak picture in Central PA. Here in the Southeast of our state we have herd's of deer. I can see 10 to 30 deer sometimes out here. Lots of Doe's, to many in fact. There are some nice Bucks though. I have a camp up in Pike county in the Delaware State Forest. You can go days without seeing a deer up there in the Northeast part of the state. The rifle Hunters put a big hurt on the herd where I hunt in Pike. If you want to drive out ,I live in Bucks county just out side Philadelphia. Come on out we can do some hunting. Buy a couple of Doe tags for 5d and 5c and maybe even a Buck for the team!

I appreciate the offer i really do
BUT
I failed to mention that i am only 17, and last deer season i was 16. So basically im stuck going where my friends go and unfortunately i dont live around any die hards... I wish i had better friends to hunt with me locally Rob Pa/Bowyer (sorry for spelling) was letting me talk to this guy who lives right up the road from me and i never knew it.... maybe he will let me go hunting with him. As for did i get any deer last year, the answer is yes. I tagged out. I shot "My7pointmonster" with a bow(first bowkill and First ever buck), and i happen to be a terrific shot with a rifle and a doe jumped up infront of me started running i did the MMamp thign and she diddnt stop so i put the crosshairs up waited till the ass went down saw the ears pop up pulled the trigger and thats all she wrote, she went ass over tin cup and their she layed. Big mature Doe.

I dont know im gonna hunt hard everyday i can

I know what it was like being younger, heck im only 19 so im still pretty young but for the longest time i only went out hunting with my dad during rifle season on the weekend but now since i can go whenever i want i go almost every night/day and every weekend so when im pretty much not workin im hunting. Congrats on your buck and doe last year too got any pics of your 7 pointer? I only managed to bag a cow elk last year due to my rifle being all screwed up and i was workin on the rigs during bow season so only got out twice last year with the bow. But not this year:D

RE: 12- Official Team 12 Thread
