RE: deer numbers in PA
I don't know where some of you guys are hunting at in Indiana County, but I have seen more deer this past season than the previous three of four. The thing is that I didn't see as many bucks as usual. Last year my buck sightings FAR outweighed my doe sightings and that was reversed this year. It was nothing to see 10 to 12 deer every time I sat in stand! Granted, the deer numbers are down from 10 years ago, but to make it sound like there are no deer left is a little bit of a stretch. Try heading to a different part of the state. I spent alot of my summer and early fall up in the Mill Hall/Lock Haven area and I never saw a deer, heck, the only thing I saw was a single turkey on my way to Ravensburg State Park.
