RE: Pa hunter numbers, is doomsday really here?
Your area sure is bad with all those crews killing all the deer along the roads and mountain lions eating the rest.Funny thing.On saturday I hunted public dmap'dland22 miles from Renovo.That's close to you right?I passed an easy shot at a buck.I also saw another group of 8 deer that I couldn't get a shot at.Then at 10:45am,I snuck up on a bedded doe and killed her on the spot.As I drug her to my truck I saw tracks all over the place.When I got to my truck,there was a doe standing in a springbrowsing on some blackberry bushes.Guess what I didn't see?I didn't see any other hunters,any footprint,no crews driving and no large predator tracks.I founddeer where I expected to find them this time of year and I found alot of evidence that I missed alot more than I saw.In three days of hunting public land in 2G,I killed two doe and had to pass on three bucks.Supposedly 2G has the worst hunting in the state.If that's the case,thewhining I hear in totaly unwarranted because I just finsihed up one of the best seasons I've ever had.
