Pennsylvania has 267,600 bowhunters with 17 million wooded acres with 1.6 million deer.
LOL If someone could prove to me that PA has 1.6 million deer I'll sprinkle hot sauce over this laptop and wash it down with a cold beer.


PA has a lot of feast or famine.........many of those "wooded acres" have the lowest deer densities you could ever imagine. Where our hunting camp is located in western Clinton Co. It is claimed via thermal image fly overs that we have something like 7 deer per square mile. Thats what?, 660 some odd WOODED acres...........with 7 deer on them. We don't even use the cabin much anymore.

Then you have the feast areas in the Western and SE counties where there are places where you can find 30 or more deer per square mile and you literally have trophy bucks eating from flower beds but you have to give your left kidney to hunt them in the suburban neighborhoods (if you're lucky.)

Sure there are some good hunts to be had here, and I've had my share but TRUST ME this is one screwed up state when it comes to its deer and deer hunters.
