I have seen some nice buck's in my area (I hunt 3B) and a ton of doe...;)

RE: PA scouting report
 

i'm in 3d/4c. any substantial rub yet?

RE: PA scouting report
 

I also hunt in 3B;). What do you mean by "nice bucks"? Actually, we had 2 BIG nine pointers on our property that were alive after the season as well as a couple of nice 8s and a 7-point that had the frame of a big 10. If they come back this year, it should be good for us. I haven't been up to camp in a while, though. My dad has seen does and my mom saw a big buck but didn't know how many points.

RE: PA scouting report
 

I hunt 3B as well and am going down there this weekend to finish hanging stands, plant a last minute food plot, and hopefully video tape some of the deer we have down there. We have at least 2x 115"+ bucks in there regularly, as well as a handful of 2 1/2 year olds. Hopefully I will be able to post some video's/pictures for you guys next week.

Put a trailcam out Wednesday night and had 24 pics by Sunday noon:D The bad news.....All does:eek:

At least I know where my venison is coming from!

RE: PA scouting report
 

My dad and cousin told me that they have seen a couple bucks with bloody racks while spotting , this is tellin me that velvet is startin to get a little itchy fellas!

RE: PA scouting report
 

Not in our neck of the woods...at least in terms of rubs and preliminary scrapes. This is the exact right time for them to start appearing though. None of my game cam pics for the local areas are showing bucks shedding their antlers though I haven't been in the woods since last weekend.

It's a very strange year in SE Pa. I see some sign at one of my stands and another that's about 2 miles away there is sign and movement all over the place. Seems to be a much better year for acorns and beachnuts in my area.

RE: PA scouting report
 

Seen a bunch of small bucks up to eight points at the salt lick during the past few months. Seen one nice ten point with nice long tines. A neighbor has reported two large eight points and a huge ten point. I haven't seen any rubs or scrapes yet. Here in Armstrong Co. the acorns, apples & wild cherries are beginning to drop. Less than a month to go.......:)

RE: PA scouting report
 

The apples are heavy this year in 3B, as well as the acorns but the acorns are dropping premature. Saw a nice 100" 8 point this weekend when hanging stands/scouting. I also saw one fresh rub line as well.......a few of the trees were over 4" in diameter. The 8 point I saw was still in velvet though and we have another in velvet that we are getting pics of on my leaf river.

Spotting last night, counted 145 deer, 29 bucks with visible racks. Not much luck getting deer close to the road last night. Anyway, of those bucks, 13 were clean.

Some of them were bloody, one had velvet hanging, and at least three looked like they've been out for a while now. One deer in particular, a huge forkhorn (about 15" wide") had anicely polished frame.

Awesome night for spotting, cool but not cold, no fog, and no other spotters. Saw a few really good buck last night.

I've seen alot of bucks scouting this season. 2 monsters worthy of an arrow and a ton of does in 2a. Lots of apples and acorns this season.
