I saw a ton of shooter bucks this year and got my career best bow buck this year. I also rattled two in. I even saw my first PA Booner (at night, though). Here's my PA bow buck. Rattled in on Oct 25th in the pouring rain.

I didn't see a deer while on stand this season. My wife saw 3 buck and 4 doe the entire season. Bow hunting pressure was down by around 50% from 2000. Archery hunting is now hardly worth getting up early. Cutting firewood is almost as much fun.

I had an awesome archery season.Killed three doe and a a nice 7 point.Two days after I killed the 7point,I had a slammer of an 8 point 24 yards from me.He stood around for 12 minutes and never knew I was there.I put a couple of my buddies on that bench and the buck was never seen again.Friday afternoon however,a buddy of mine came up from Johnstown and killed a 19 3/4 inch 8 point on that same bench.This year was pretty typical for me.I had deer sighting a little more than 50% of the time.I didn't see a ton of deer from my standsbut they're tough to pattern in this part of the state.
Last week I was at one of the largest taxidermy studios in this part of the state.They were 10 bucks ahead of last year as of last monday and already had about 100 bucks in.Many were huge.

3 Doe ! Oh my God That is 6 deer in reality. No wonder we dont see 50 to 70 deer a day nomoe. Ban Doe huntin for 3 years then Only allow 1 deer per person per season till the herd comes back.And bet you dont put a plum nickel back in to the deer herd other then the cheap huntin license you bought.If you hunt on someone elses property how much have you given them in thankyou gifts,cash or etc.??? How much did you put back into the food habitate for the deer ??? Take, Take , ME ME ME management will come back to bite all of us in the future

now,. now calm down..
PEOPLE LIKE DOUGE ARE ONES THAT ARE RUINING THE DEER HUNTING AND ALSO RUINING THE MEMBERSHIP IN A LOT OF SPORTSMANS CLUBS.
there is a lot of hate for people like DOUGE.
douge is not ALONE, i know DCNR employees that shot 5 deer a year then went to new york to kill a bunch more.
they are MEAT nuts.
they are reason that kids dont see a deer and others that cant hunt a lot.
we must try to stop these people by making it ONE DEER AND YOUR DONE[:@]

its nice hunting on privateland and able to pattern a nd get buck like that.
our hunting here in WMU2G on dcnr land is tough if not impossible at times to get a buck in archery.
a deer like that would be poached before gun season.
one we were after was poached in hyner,pa area and horns removed on stateforestland.

I got out to state game lands and saw a few doe. No buck however, saw two or three good areas where one was lurking. One of the areas had awesome rubs but....just never saw him.
That is what bugs me the most. Knowing there is a very good buck in the area and never laying eyes on it. Since it is public land, good chance he gets taken. Never know. Maybe he will be taken by me the first time I see him!
Heard from other folks who we hunt with that they saw lots of bucks but, only one legal shooter. That is not saying much but, at the same time, the monster can come out of the bush at any time.
