I have had lots of luck in bradford county, I will be there as well but not until the end of their bow season when the rut is happening. What town will you be in? I hunt Canton.

I've been hunting PA since day one of the legal age... but never in Bradford County. Not by choice mind you, I just don't know too many folks from that region. Are there good bucks there? Maybe I should take a quick trip. :D

BTW - Here's my archery buck from 2004 taken in Central PA... I like him very muchly...

Bradford County is definately worth going to if you have the chance. It is a lot of farmland there, with small pockets of woods between all of it. It is probably the best hunting I have seen personally in the state and I have hunted York, Lancaster, Tioga, Huntington and Bradford Counties. I have hunted all over the county as well and it seems to be very good all over.

everytime i drive through their to get to our camp i see tons of deer, then when i am on stand and don't see any i wonder why i drove the extra hour.

I think more deer are killed in PA , then in any other state , by hunters . But I think there are more hunters there allso . Its a yearly ritual for me . Good luck to you , enjoy yourself out there , its pretty in Pa in october .

There are no deer in PA!?!?!

At least that is what "everyone" on the NE forum says.

RE: pennsylvania
 

do you hunt there in early october, and are there any good bucks running around then, or do you pretty much see mostly does? where are the bucks in early october near the fields or probably in the deep woods? whats the biggest buck or doe you got there?

big ten, This a a very good county for bear. The state record bear was harvested in Bradford a few years back. That record has moved to second place by one measuring 1/4" more in skull size.

i shot a nice 6 pt. with 2 busted off tines this year with my bow about an hour or two from bradford county. had a 17 inch spread, however it was quite small compared to some of the bucks i have been seeing. their are some monsters running around. i had a 160 ish 12 pt about 40 yards from me last bow season, but never got any closer.

if you can it would be well worth it to do a little scouting before your trip
