I must again congratulate you PA boys on having some of the more entertaining threads on HNI. I am curious though; lots of people are talking about how bad deer hunting, and possibly other forms of hunting, are in PA. However, is that just the case in some public areas. Or, can any of you speak from the perspective of private landholders or those who primarily hunt on private ground.
i have privateland but i dont hunt on it.
i did have deer but POACHERS,TRESSPASSERS,local yoks have shot most off.
all PUBLIC areas are not good do to just to much doe hunting.
privateland in some of southern areas of pa. are loaded with deer.
this is why most of camp owners dont come to WMU2G in deer season now, they hunt off their back porchs at home.
we get 5 times the bear hunters now than we do deer hunters here in WMU2G.
as for other game, rabbits are bad, squirreals are bad,grouse is better,bear is great,turkey is good,deer is bad.
but we do have nice mountains and fresh air,if you enjoy that, its great place to be.
clinton/potter counties used to be best part of state to hunt deer,m thats why we have over 10,000 camps in clinton alone but now those camps are being sold and used the most during SUMMER,not in deer season.
