Have hunted now 48 hrs in Pa andmy deer count has risen from 1 doe to 3 doe, actually 1 adult doe and 2 yearling doe.
"dont tell ANYONE where you were, or those young doe are history.
thats how bad it has gotten here in clinton/potter/cameron counties.[:@]"
You don't realize how true that is. When I told people what I had seen, they asked "where at?". I sat on the first day of muzzleloader and heard a total of3 shots from 5:30 AM to 10:30 AM and then 2 shots from 3 PM till dark. I hunt in a valley where the sound of a door slamming echoes, yet I heard so little shooting???? A friend (who hasn't seen anything yet this season) and myself went scouting this past Sunday. We walked at least 5 1/2miles and found 4 rubs and 3 scrapes. The sad thing is this has been the most productive scouting effort since early August.
