Hunting in Pa is far better today than it was when I started hunting in 1980.back then,you were done when you killed one deer and your chance of seeing a legal buck after 10:00am on the first day was slim to none because the vast majority of them were dead.In 2007 on the last day of rifle season,I passed on the largest buck I've ever seen because i killed a 9 point with my bow.This yearI had to pass on several bucks,three of which I would have mounted,because my buck tag was already filled,three of those bucks were on public land as was the one the year before.I didn't hunt bear this year but I've been on hand 4 out of 6 years when guys in our group have killed bear.Four years ago,we killed four bears on the first two drives of the season.Up until six years aho,I've never seen a dead bear in the woods and Ihunted bear every year,I kill a gobbler ever spring and usually call in several more for other people.I don't specifically hunt them in the fall but I've killed a couple in the last five yerars as incidental kills while bowhunting.The bear and turkey hunting has never been better.the deer hunting is also better in my opinion.There's certainly less deer out there but the opportunities to hunt are far greater than they used to be and yes,the bucks are getting bigger.I would have to say the small game populations have taken a nose dive but that has more to do with the habitat than anything else.Bag limits have not increased and participation is down so the habitat has to be the reason.Still,in areas with better small game habitat,I am seeing decent numbers or grouse and even some rabbits.
