Mike if you want to see alot of deer on PUBLIC LAND then get up to SGL 36 in Bradford county or the gamelands outside of Wyalusing or the other game lands near Warren center and you will see plenty of deer and deer sign. I cant help that your area is poor in habitat and devoid of deer............sounds like its time to MOVE TO A NEW AREA and quit complaining about the old one. At least thats what i would do.

Again you are generalizing that all public land in the state is devoid of deer,,, this is simply is not true. Again, i find it really hard to believe that in a couple of years all the deer are gone. I just cant believe that all the licenses for your county or DMU went to people that are exclusively hunting your PUBLIC land areas and wiping out your deer herds. I still believe it has been a long time in the making due to habitat issues. To simply put it deer are not going to be where there is nothing for them to eat.

In our area I hunt that is mostly surrounding mountainous game lands, hardly anybody hunts for doe. If you cruise around all the cabins and look at the meat poles of the people that hunt SGL most of them have 0 doe hanging and all buck. Believe me its not for lack of doe. I personally wish they would start whacking doe cause our areas buck to doe ratio is terrible and too many old heads have the idea " Dont shoot the breeders" it will ruin the huntin!!! Why dont you come up here and I'll point you in the right direction, maybe you can help us get the buck to doe ratio evened out
