In the past few years our numbers have been alot lower but enough deer to keep your interest.By that I mean seeing two or three a day.However last year we had snow cover from the first day of rifle to the last day.They stuck out like a sore thumb in the laurel and pine thickets.Deer you normally didn't see were easily seen with the snow cover.As a result so far this spring/summer has shown the least amount of deer or deer sign I've ever seen.
Might have to grab a hold of the pocket book this year and do alot of driving/scouting looking for some decent spots in the mosh state forest.That's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It's not unusual to have snow during the second week of the season.I thought the conditions were unfavorable in Moshannon state forest that week.The snow was extremely crunchy,making it hard to even get on stand without booting every deer within several hundred yards.I saw alot of deer both sarurday of the season,very few hunters and heard very little shoting.I can't imagine you'd think there were less deer in 2G right now than in past years.Sometimes you boggle my mind rich.
There are plenty of good spots in Moshannon state forest.Stay off of Rocton mountain and you'll find plenty of deer.
