No need to expose me Sproul.My dmap kills are all reported.I'll tell you exactly where I was.As I gutted the last doe,I was looking right down on rt 872,not far from where it hits rt 120.In fact,I parked accross from the Sinnemahoning tavern.Deer all over the place up there and no hunters what so ever.I have a buddy who's family has a camp not far from the dam on 872.They hadfour hunters hunting the first day and killed two huge 8 pointers and a huge ten point,all on state forest land.
I'll gladly take you up there.Get in shape because it's some tough walking.
the area you are hunting is CAMERON COUNTY.
i am familiar with area.
i hunted the summerson/darrin land which is accross from bridge 30 years ago.
i grew up with those friends of our family.
when you mentioned DMAP area, i assumed you were in rt144 so towards snow shoe.
that area is all shot out.
now, for the area you are in, i cant comment as i dont know that area of CAMERON.
i do know area off the montour run rd of CAMERON and that is as far as i have info on hunting of deer/grouse in cameron.
still hard for me to believe you can go above the williows tavern and see deer like that when my good friend who is president of sportsmans club there says deer situation is bad.unless its near privateland.
his name is tim horner.
i will give you benefit of doubt , you got me on that one because i dont know what is there and dont hunt that far into cameron.
but i do fish there a lot and i see very few deer unless its near privateland.
