You're a hoot Sproul.I hunt around Sinnemahoning and see lots of deer.In fact,I've seen over 20 in one morning alone a few times in the last three years.I also routinely see well over a dozen deer a day while hunting SGL 93 and 77 in WMU 2g.They're slow days compared to whatI see in certain parts of Moshannon state forest and on Seneca resource properties,which are open to the public.
douge,20 deer is not a lot of deer.
sinnemahoning has a lot of PRIVATELAND and a lot of camps that feed and protect deer somewhat.
no doubt you saw 20 deer there.i used to see 200 there from bridge up to dam easy.i hunted the summerson property at bridge with dad when it was nothing to see 20 deer a drive.
so, you see sproul has been around, i have.
my privateland has about 11 deer on it,my yard has 3 doe,4 fawns, 1 buck.
yet, you can drive on stateforestland and you are lucky to see many deer.if any at times.
most i saw scouting this year together was 3 doe.most times its 1 deer or 2 ,mostly 1 doe.
is pheasant hunting any good over your way?
