I always look froward to hunting season, but seem to usually get frustrated pretty quick with lack of grounds I am able to hunt......hunting land in bucks county is hard to come by......but I give it a shot and get out there when and where ever I can.....I cant kill a deer by sitting in my house

I been taking horse back rides on the routes I'am allowed to ride on in SGL 141 the last couple of weeks. On each trip I seen more deer than I seen the last two years combined. Two years ago on that same sgl I was lucky to cut one track on that same loop. Judging from what I been seeing I would say my little area is seeing an improvement. Weather or not it equates to success remains to be seen.

You guys should try hunting Allegheny county. It consists of hunting in people's backyards, public Parks, and not wearing orange. I don't literally mean that but there is not much land to hunt. everyrtime there is a shot the cops are called. I do some hunting at my camp that's about 30-45 minutes from state college. I do alright though. I have hunted for 8 years and shot 12 deer (3 bucks) and 2 Turkey so I do okay

I’m running 7 trail cameras and to date I have 1 nice buck and 2 non legal spikes, very few doe and only 2 fawns. so do I hold any hope for this years deer season NO! Now bear is another story I have been seeing several nice bears so this will be the year if I ever hope to shoot a bear thanks to the Saturday opening day for bear season . Well at least if they decimate the bear population folks like RSB will have one less excuse when it comes to the PGC,s deer mismanagement

Another record bear kill will be a welcomed distraction for them, then they can pat themselves on the back for their success at increasing the population of another fawn killer.

Im looking forward to this season! There are a ton of deer in the areas I hunt. My one property I saw 9 bucks and 45-50 does the last day of gun season last year. My property at my house always holds alot of deer. Im fortunate to have plenty of areas to hunt in 5c. Im going to start putting out trail cams next week, we saw 2 giants last winter thats were way bigger then the 10 pointer I shot.
