But WHY? Is everyone getting it done in archery season now? Or what.
I seem to remember reading in either PA or Ohio that last year the archery harvest passed the gun harvest.
So I'm sure that factors into it.
There's still lots of deer. There's just no one out moving them around anymore.
We still do drives. One of the last groups in our area that do it. We piss allot of people off too. Nobody likes drives anymore.
But I saw 40 some deer today including 6 bucks. Nothing legal though.
I did finally see one other Hunter up on a hillside about 3pm. Very little shooting all day.
We used to run 15-20 out of our camp every year. This year we had 9 the first day. 7 today. But 3 of those were junior hunters. It's hard to drive stuff without willing guys. We do the best we can.
Of our 9 from the first days day so far 8 have tagged a deer(I'm the only one that hasn't! Lol I've been passing doe looking for a 'good' buck) Including 4 bucks. We do alright.
But hunting in PA is certainly changing.
