I shot a "mature" doe when I was in high school with a bear whitetail hunter while sitting on the ground ,and a 2117 Easton arrow with a satellite broad head.
Thats when PA was truly one and you were done,you used your back tag in archery season to tag either a buck or doe.
WOW bawana, that soundseerily similar to my beginnings in archery back in the mid 70's! I started with a 40# Bear Kodiak recurve shooting the exact same arrows with Bear broadheads. Then went high tech with a Bear Polar LTD.
I killed my first two deer (yearling doe's) from the ground with it. Tree stands were few and far between. I think Baker came out with the first one that I was aware of.
And yes, it was a one deer (buck or doe) a year season back then. Those were indeed the good old days. I started hunting in Bradford Co. Pa on State Game Lands #36. Awesome country up there! We used to see many deer up there, unlike these days from what I hear. Still lots of bear and turkey. Here's a pic of our hunting camp we used to rent for the whole first week of archery season. It was called Cobblestone Camp.I miss those days! But the memories will last forever.
