i bet half of my friends are heading to BUTLER,PA to get their doe next week.
its hard for me to believe that they will go that far and spend that kind of money to get doe meat.
Well you better warn your friends that 2D is one of the units closed to doe hunting the first week. That meat will become REAL expensive if they get caught.
I have my favorite hunting spots as well...and from time to time, they go completely dry....because the preferred food source changed in conjunction with the weather. I hunt the edges of swamps that butt up against standing oaks. This year, the acorn drop was horrible yet I chose to waste a few days sitting in my old favorite stands because they usually produce good action during the rut. Once I confirmed that the deer were honed in on a different portion of the swamp that actually had acorn producing trees closeby....I was rewarded with some of the best hunting I've had in years. The action was just incredible....and all it took was moving my stand about 1,200 yards east.
Sometimes I wish it was that easy. Every single property I had access to had no acorn production this year, and I covered every inch of all of them. At that point there's not much more you can do.
they said they hunt ALLEGHENY COUNTY IS ALL I KNOW,i think they said its 2B.
boy, are they MEAT crazy.
