I have squirrel hunted Vance's Cove 1 time. I have a buddy who killed a nice bear up there last year with his bow. He scouted all summer and claims he saw more bear than deer. Not that the deer pop is down, just saw alot of bears. I thought about bowhunting it, but would not consider it for any gun season. TOO MUCH TRAFFIC!!! I guess I'm spoiled. I have hunted on various private farms for the past 15 years or so, and the deer population is high & the hunter population is low. It makes for safe, enjoyable hunting.

Oh yeah, when I was at Vance's Cove, we went off to the left side (Strasburg side) and still hunted a ways. After awhile, we decided to take a break, when we heard this strange noise. It got louder, and closer, out of no where 3 mountain bikers come flying up a road, scared the bejeebes out of me!!!! lol

forgot to mention that I got a shot yesterday. I've come to the realization that anyone can hit a deer's vitals at 30 yds, but only a true marksman can hit a branch 1/2" diameter at 30 yds. End result I got the branch, and the deer got to go on about his business.[]
