Default Question on PA hunting seasons

This year I"ve made it a mission to get my wife her first deer, so far, nope..... We went to PA bowhunting first week of October, no shots for her.

Considering going back for a few days with rifles, I have two options, looking for advise from PA folks.

Two seasons:

Dec 1-5, bucks only. But we have DMAP tags so can use them for doe during this period.

Dec 6-13, either sex.

Looks like nobody will be deer hunting for the last two weeks of November, so deer should be "rested" from whatever archery and muzzleloader does to them.

That gives an advantage to Dec 1-5

What I am wondering is which will have less people hunting? The area we would be is the line of Potter and Lycoming county if that helps (area 2G).

Do more people hunt bucks only or either sex, or is both going to have tons of people.
