It was not so much an issue of the hunters as it was as how it effected my season.

The first year they started it you were not allowed to use a bow that weekend.I didn't know that and had driven 3.5 hrs to PA just to archery hunt that weekend. After that it was doe only and I didn't have a doe tag. This year is the first that they are allowing buck.

I just hope that the early season translates into more adult hunters.I agree that it's never been better for youth hunters and i hope more take advantage of something we never had.

I'll probably be telling a tale of siting in a tree all day and watching the squirrels play. I'm trying to decide ifI go for just buck for a while or shoot a doe to take pressure off.

I'm amazed at that also. Only 2 deer submitted. A whitetail in velvet and a blacktail in velvet. A few states start this weekend so it should pick up. Hopefully,I will be submitter #3.
