I hunted 5C today and didn't hear a single ML shot and didn't see another hunter. The PGC brags about increased hunting opportunity ,but with a decreased herd it is really not abenefit . it just means fewer hunters hunting fewer deer for a longer time period with lower harvests.

bb, i hunt clinton countytoday, this is wmu2g.

i never saw so many hunters with in-lines as today.more than first week of deer.

i also did not see a deer killed but i did see 2 doe while hunting grouse.

i did hear 5 shots way far away.

I'm not sure how much participation this early muzzy season gets.

Heard one muzzy shot about sunset time in 2D where we were. The one kid had PSAT's in the morning and the other had work so we got out with the muzzy's in 2D in the afternoon. deer already out in the fields everywhere at 2:30 PM on the way to dads place. Sat with the 16 year old with the video camera while he had the inline. No deer where we'd seen a minimum of 5 per night every time he had the bow. The older son had 5 come through but they came through on the one trail witha farmhouse beyond the only opening. One of those 90% safe shots but I'm proud to say that my boys only go for 100% safe shots. Very few oaks on dads place but we saw a couple limits of squirrels where there are typically very few.

We'll be up at camp hunting in and around the ANF with inlines or bows this Friday and Saturday and if the last few years are any indication, we'll pretty much have the woods to ourselves.

i would say it was about 50/50 on in-line muzzleloader hunting in clinton/centre county,i mean, 50% were in woods hunting ,other 50% riding roads.

i saw 2 guys going with a bow /gun on their backs and climbing treestands.

i wanted to take their pictures for us to see but they did not want their pictures taken.

they looked like the eskimos in alaska all bundled up,you could hardly see their faces.:D

they said they were going to kill a buck/doe each.:D

We "Alpha" hunters like hunting coyotes: :D



Another....


Already had those 2on line.

Making 40 or 50 callingsets between killsand hunting all hours of the night for the smartest animal in Pa kinda makes deer hunting seems easy. Even in a state with a miserably failed deer program.;)

One month so far,everyday bow hunting and 2 days so far of muzzy. Seen 5 deer total.Only one shooter.A mature doe.Not one Buck.Lets slaughter some more doe in 5c.I want the 70's back of 40 deer per. sg mile.And not one starved.I would like to see only one deer per hunter allowed per year.I now this is a pipe dream.Cant wait for gun season to open in WV.Maybe they aint huge antlers,but at least you see something except hunters and chipmuinks

I am curious as to what area of 5C you are hunting. I'm hunting near the Bucks/Northampton Co. line and it has been really slow and hunting pressure is down a lot from last year.
