i dont even go to lycoming anymore even tho its close.clinton one they stopped stocking pheasants.cameron i was up this year .potter i have not been up.
i talk to people that RECENTLY do go to clfd/elk.
just to much pressure for what is left there..btb has one in great area for deer and he does not use but hunts next to it. that tells you something.
so i am going by my experience and reports i get from various clubs that i know some of officers .like moshannon you talk about, TERRIBLE HUNTING. i used to fish bass tournaments and that small pond there we had yearly tournaments there.its off list now but i got to talk to locals on deer and it was always TERRIBLE .
How can you say the hunting is terrible in these areas if you haven't been there in a long time?Some areas of Moshannon state forest have very poor habitat and low deer numbers as it should.However,there are areas with better habitat and excellent hunting.I live within 3 miles of Moshannons state forest and have yet to not fill all of my dmap tags every year in a very short period of time.
