Today was the most wild deer hunting day I have EVER EVER had. I downed a nice, large bodied doe at about noon today. When everyone was heading back to the trucks for lunch, I had already eaten and was sitting tight. It worked out well. I say it was wild because, The wind was so crazy that it almost knocked me out of my tree stand several times(thats when I got down) and I have never seen a deer quite as tough as this one that i kiled today. It just kept taking a hit after hit and just kept running! I handloaded Nosler Ballistic tips in a .300 and the deer would just take the hit, fall down, and get back up and run. No Garbage gut shots either! It was nuts[]! I ran it down and thats probably why it ran so far now that i think of it. I ran out of shells in the process. I felt so goofy cause Ive shot 7 deer and Ive never shot more than twice to down a deer. Im young and unexperienced...

About that wind... Do you PA guys think that it affected the harvest a lot today? It seemed to me that there wasnt a whole lot of shooting going on. Last year in the same spot it seemed like hell breakin loose... not this year for sure. I heard a few guys down on the Game lands firing volleys of shots at em but that was it for the morning. Most guys I talked to said they only saw 1 or no deer at all which is very uncommon for this spot.
