I am so, so tired of the "no deer left in PA" b******t!!
I hunt a combination of public and private ground, and I see just as many deer on the "shot-out!!" SGL's as I do on the private. I also scout pretty much year round, when I climb a tree I'm confident that I'll see deer, and I usually do.
Deer cannot read, so they do not flee until they hit a line of No Trespassing signs and set-up camp for the rest of the season. Stop making excuses and blaming the PGC and put a little more work into it!!

great bucks taken I also hunt in erie county 1b to be exact. a/r have worked for some areas mostly private land.most big bucks taken now are 2.5 years old.the bigger bucks are taken on private land and get some age to them.the only problem I have is where are these big bucks going to come from with all the doe being shot every year now.how many are shot and left in the woods because they are not legal.also have seen 2 bucks together for 3yrs now and they both have 6pts but if you would see them from a distance and didn't know they were around you would swear they were at least 8pt's.gw I run into is just waiting to pinch a hunter who shoots one of them. what good is a/r on that one.one size does not fit all.
