hunting here in wmu2g,clinton/potter is challenge.
i dont hunt doe because i want to see us hunt in future.
i hunted archery for 4 weeks, i saw total of 1 buck, spike and very few doe.
this is worst year for deer hunting in wmu2g in my life.
some of bear hunters said they saw a nice buck but very few ,if any doe.
i only saw 3 grouse this year in wmu2g.
not many turkeys.
no rabbits.
lots of fox, coyotes, hawks,owls,bobcats,eagles.
i did see 4 bear but all were small 150 pds and under and most were shot.
some were 44 pds live weight,without 29 pds.
how hunters can shoot those little bears is beyond me.

I deer hunt in 5D and 5C. I also turkey and bear hunt in 4D. The whole camp got there turkeys opening morning in less then 3 hours out. We took all but 2 of the birds out of this smaller flock that was trying to push our normal flock out of the area. For bear it was a bad year. It snowed Sat night and Sun before bear season then it got warm so there was fog everywhere. Most of the time we could only see 50 yards and the rest was less then that all the way down to 5 yards. Bear sesaon sucked this year. Deer opens today but its rainy so im not going out. I might go this evening. I knwo wehre the deer are and how to get them but we are saposed to go hunting in th Poconos this Sat for the day so i dont want to use my buck tag before that so i can go with everyone. Have fun over there and enjoy the Bananna show!
Dont be the one to eat the Bananna!

Well wasnt planing on hunting today but my step-bro shot one and i went to help him with loading it and we saw a 7pt with a bad limp. I figured the deer had been hit by a car so i shot it to end its suffering. Its front left leg and shoulder was completely shatterd and the right front and left rear were alos pretty beat up. First day of deer season, Never put on camo, was in the woods for 5 mins and filled my tag. The only good meat on the deer was the right rear quarter and the right backstrap. The rest was very bruised so we got rid of it. Ohh well theres always next year.
