last time i was down drummonds aprox 2 -3 yrs ago it was so thick down there i seen bear & deer tracks . but i jumped a monster down there & could'nt even find him in my scope . my brother jim just told me that were he hunted on alcoa property off 780 is now posted no hunting . so he lost that area to hunt . said he's going to hunt some property near his house in washington twp.but good luck to you during pa's gun season.

Mr. Slim

ive heard that there are bear down in drummond's place near the river. same as deer if you shoot one it will take you all day to get out of there. brother Tom shot a buck down there one year in the morning and didnt get it up out of there until almost dark.

Mr. Slim

on monday when it was raining i sat in my He Shed just outside the house. seen four or five deer while in there. there is a field right above the house and i have permission to shoot deer if the come into the field. wish the wind would stop blowing here. getting to old to sit out in the cold with the wind. dont mind the cold but the wind makes it nasty out. saturday doe comes in so ill be looking for one to shoot. cant eat horns and they wont make a good broth even if you boil them.
