Default PA late archery.....


Ok, I may be going through a little withdraw because I am contemplating buying my PA tags to hunt the late archery season.

127 bills for a license to hunt from December 26th thru January 13th.

PA guys..... Talk some sense back into this flatlander

If I were close enough, I would do it.

I'm going through withdrawls already, I only spent four days in the stand this year before tagging out.

DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!! Honestly, you probablly have a better shot at winning the lottery than getting a buck in late season here in Pa! The 1,000,000 Pennsylvania hunters that hit the woods during rifle season this year have entirely screwed up any pattern that the deer had! If you want to just blow 127 bills, I'll send you my home address and I will dispose of the money properly

I'd say it depends on where you plan to hunt. If you have a place in mind that hasn't been hunted too hard it can be a great time to hunt. Last season I saw a 140+ typical three times in the late season while hunting for does but unfortunately my buck tag was already used. the year before I had a 130 class 8 pointer at 10 yards on the very last day. Both those were on a private piece of ground that doesnt get hunted much but the year before my buddy pushed a nice buck (110 or so)past my son on ground open to the public on the last day of the late season.

If you're hunting public ground, the hunting can be tough but not impossible.

Look at is this way, $127 is probably less than you'd spend on one football or hockey game and you hopefully get at least a few days of hunting in

Buckeye,

Like Buck Magnet said, it can be an tough hunt due to the sure number of people disturbing the deer during our rifle season. But it all depends on where your hunting, private property that has little pressure can be great hunting, that's where i took my only late season buck a few years ago...ever since i lost access to that property i have had a rough go on state lands.

Quit makin excuses and get out there!! Yeah, they've been pressured, yeah, they've been shot to hell, but so what? No, I haven't shot a buck this year, but I know ONE thing....you absolutely, positively CANNOT kill one at home on the couch.

Besides, it's not ALL about killing one, right....? Oh.....who am I kidding....YES IT IS!!! Get out there buddy and teach em how it's done!
