In the area of our Camp in PA things are much better now than 10 years ago. Antler restrictions became law in 2001. Big buck (relative to area) 120+ are much more frequently seen. Hunter numbers due to enconomy or what-ever is lessening although still high but not increasing.

I would imagine this archery season will be different with the cross-bow, beinf past (in some form) for the up comeing general archery season. Time will tell.

In Ohio things really have remained pretty constant, early season you can have the woods to yourself, bring on the rut and the later weekends in the season and the woods fill up pretty fast.
