lonewolf,
i don' t think that they' ll lose all that much during the season , the new management units were aimed at high population areas where there' s a high deer human interaction rate . where i live for example , we have a large populace of deer , just about every day i see about two new deer hit by cars and dead aside the road , and those areas are what they' re going after. we have less doe licenses available this year compared to last year and that' s evident in the wmu' s , the lesser populated areas have been put together into units and are given an allocation of tags concurrent with the amount of deer inhabiting the area. if i' ve explained that right that is [&:][&:]
i' ve got some good areas to go to , one' s of rt. 209 in pike cty. the other is right up from where i live off rt. 534 overlapping wmu' s 3D and 4C. and i' ve got a bunch of places in lehigh cty. which is in 5C.

i know what you mean about seeing a lot of deer in the woods , back in 96' my grandfather ( my hunting partner and mentor since i was 6yrs. old , i' m 30 yrs. old now ) and i went scouting and came across a game trail in monroe cty. off of mt. eaton rd. and were checking it out when about 25 to 30 deer came running down the trail and if we wouldn' t have moved and spooked them , they' de of ran right over us a truly beautiful and kodak moment sight

and as for bears , i' ve got them in my back yard , they make an appearance every couple of weeks just walking through , i' ve never had bear meat but , i' ve heard it is a very red/dark red in color and has a sweet taste to it , is that correct my friend ???
