RE: PAWPAW TREES
 

They are all over the farm I hunt.

Never noticed a deer eating the fruit.


I will say this,the deer love the cover the large leaves provide.There aretrails all through them where I am.


I had a smart ass doe come in on me and she spotted me.She moved into the trees right at daylight and she stopped behind a large tree,looked at me and started slipping through these trees.I saw a small clearing ahead of her and when she turned her head,I drew.She got to the exact spot I was going to shoot and ran through the opening.( I was a little pissed at this point)At the bottom of the hill was a clearing and I would have had a good 30 yard shot so I stayed ready and was going to shoot when she hit that clearing but quess what she did,YEP,took off at a dead run when she hit the clearing.

These are those PRIVATE land deer that are supposed to so easy to kill.:D

This isn't even the slickest doe I have encountered.[&:]

Thanks TFOX. I wonder if they are just not prevelant in my area of PA or PA at all?

RE: PAWPAW TREES
 

They are not prevalent where I live but they are plentiful where on the farm I hunt.

The conditions must have to be just right.

I usually see them at or near the bottom of hills inside the woods.They are usually dark places with a good canopy above.

Just my experience.

I've seen quite a few of the trees in my part of Pa.-usually around creeks and streams-but they don't seem to really attract the deer
