Default RE: PA Flintlock / Late archery

I was in the woods by 10 am at a funnel between two cattail swamps. A different place than I usually hunt but not far away either. Around 11 am it became evident that drives were beginning from the sound of complete magazine deployments. I had a fawn come smashing through the swamp and blast headfirst through some underbrush and stopped about 20 feet from me. I said "go ahead" to it and it ran past me and headed for some houses. I thought for sure I would see a buck today, because all the hunters doing drives were hunting antlerless with shotguns. I hunted till dark and saw nothing else. I would have thought there was 500 deer in that hollow from all the shooting that went on. I surmise that the deer were reluctant to cross that valley today and tried to stay on either ridgeline despite all the hunters up there. Oh well....next week try something else.
