RE: an ugly story
I am from Central Pensylvania and I hunt on sgl 100 (Sproul State Forest). I have been hunting this area for more than 20 years. I have been harassed by groups of hunters more than once. We have a small camp so we do not put on very many drives during riffle season. So we mostly pot hunt and when one of these groups see you in a stand in the middle of there drive they can get very rude. For one thing I have been there for hours and I have know idea they are going to drive this area. I have had a person point his gun at me and worn me not to come back. This is public land not private land. The other problem I have is if these people see my ladder stands they will rip them down or steal them. When these people put on these drive they think they own the land and you have no rite to be there. There are some group who will be nice to you and talk to you for awhile. This is the reason I mostly Bowhunt here in Pennsylvania. I don`t have to deal with these jerks in bow season. I will say that the new early doe season puts this problem back into Bow season, because these black powder hunters put on drives too.
