help in PA
does anyone know if DCNR will be running the DMAP program for Promised Land State Park in 3D?
wanna get me and my son (his first season) a tag in 3d and 4c. 4c looks harder to come by, and i'd put in for that first, if i knew DCNR was running the dmap again. if not i gotta put in for 3d first to be safe because we rented a cabin at promised land for the 1st week of gun season (wanted to make his first one real memorable)
any input would be appreciated

RE: help in PA
Your game plan sounds similar to mine. I typically apply for 3D first as I hunt the promised land area during rifle. Then during the first bonus round I typically apply for 4C as that is where I do all of my bowhunting a bit of rifle as well. Now here is the deciding factor, 4C reduced its doe license allocations by about 12% if memory serves me. 3Ds reduction was more significant so it may be wise to apply for 3D first and then 4C second.
On a related note, we rent one of those Promised Land cabins on Bear Wallow road for the first day of trout each year. Great time! But make sure to dial 1-888- PAParks and not 1-800 unless you like to hear about certain adult services.

boysda,
According to the recent FLIR surveys Promise Land had almost 24 deer per square mile and this is before the fawn drop this spring. I would say the will definatley have DMAP tags available for the area.

Boysda, if you want your son to have a memorable first season take him as far away from the crouds as possible, keep him away from if it's brown it's down croud, Promised Land is one of those places. Good luck to your son on his first hunt, you two will never forget that day.
any input would be appreciated
