You know nothing about 2G.The article was pretty much spot on.2G is a very steep and remote area.There are huge areas that see practically no pressure during the entire season.I hunted some remote areas around Sinnemahoning last year and never cut a boot print in the snow,despite the fat that there was snow cover since the beginning of Nov.I hunted three days in elk state forest and Moshannon state forest.I could have killed a buck each day and managed to fill 2 dmap tags by 10am on 2 of the three days.I saw no hunters or boot prints in Elk state forest and saw a grand total of 2 other hunters in Moshannon state forest.Thew last two weekends I scouted out new spots in Moshannon state forest that I never hunted before.I saw over a dozen deer last saturday including a 6 point that was easily over 18 inches wide.The week before,I saw a half dozen different deer in a new spot,including an almost pure white doe.I have to laugh when people whine and cry about the lack of deer in 2G.
Hunters may be accounting for 70% of the mortality in certain areas and in years with good weather.That doesn't account for the reduced fawn recruitment rate however.
