Default RE: Pa Hunting

Need a little more information first. What season are you looking to hunt? If it' s rifle, you don' t need to worry about the rut, it' s over. The rut normally is best the last part of October, which is normally the last couple of weeks of bow. Weather, again depends on when you are hunting, but the rifle season is normally in th 40' s at mid day. A couple of years ago you could hunt in short sleeves in the middle of December. I' m located about an hour west of Doylesburg so I can' t speak entirely for that area. In general PA is not know for their trophies but for the amount of deer that the state holds. They did go to antler restrictions this past year which require three points on one side with some areas requiring four. (western part of the state.) Every year there are plenty of trophies killed, but if I was looking for a trophy, I would have left a long time ago! Hope this helps.
