RE: PA deer harvest down 17%
I can't speek for the rest of the state, but at our property in Clinton county over the last 10 years just seeing a deer is considered a good day of hunting. At one time on our 900 acre spot you would see 40 to 50 deer a day. Granted the bucks are much better quality these days however finding them is tuff and in the big woods they don't follow patterns as much as in more open country. I think this is the area in PA that suffers the most lately where deer are concerned.
