Well, just checkin in... The first week of the gun season did not go well. I only had two deer within shooting distance - a BB for which I do not have a doe tag and a 6 or 8 point. I did not shoot the 6 or 8 point because I could not decide if he was legal. Here in PA with the 4 point per side restrictions made me question the shot. His fourth points on both sides only appeared to be about a half inch. SO frustrating![:@] I had him in my sights at 10 yards - I could have taken him with my bow!
I hunted with my brother on Fri. and Sat. in two different shotgun only areas. Seen a couple of does on Fri. but they were so far off. We ran into a couple of other hunters who said they had a couple shots at a group of 17. 3 of the 17 were bucks.
The deer are all herded up here since there is so much pressure. Thursday night I looked thru the binoculars at a nearby farm field. There were over 30 deer there! Several of them were bucks too. And the funny thing about it is that a half an hour earlier the hunters over there were still in the woods. Soon as they left the deer flooded the field.
We have gun season until Saturday then it is over until Dec. 27th. During the late season I can hunt here (and freeze) with a bow for two weeks or I can go to the Special Regulations area and use a bow or shotgun. Maybe once the deer have a chance to rest over the holiday I might have a chance to use the bow again. They are just too spooked right now.

WI - It's great that you got the cast off. I know how you felt having it. I was in an accident when I was young. I had a broken knee and fractured pelvis. I had to wear a cast from upper thigh to ankle for six weeks - plus I wasn't allowed out of bed. Talk about miserable!

KK - I enjoyed looking at your photos...

What about the rest of you guys? What's going on in your neck of the woods?
