ive been looking forward to this since bow season ended. cant wait to get up to the big woods. im heading up near marienville, NW PA. you dont see many bucks, but when you do its a nice one! i might be doing some in east brady too. Where are all you PA hunters going? anybody going out for bear too?

I always get pumped for opening day of rifle season. The anticipation of what's to come! I'll be out in Berks county. No bear hunting for me.

Never been out for bear, but defininitly never miss whitetail opener. First archery season that I didn't go since I started archery hunting 13 years ago. So I am especially amped up for rifle to begin. Although forecasts have crap weather in store, it won't change the excitement any. I'll be in Berks also looking to punch some tags.

Indiana county here. Seeing a lot of sign around this year, should be a good opening week.

i went up north around marienville, did some scouting today. saw 4 deer in about an hour including a nice 8 point, so hopefully i will get a chance at him. i also stopped in the bear check station. not to many big bear taken yet. biggest one was in the 280 lb range. Most were averaging 90-140 lb.

Good Luck to all!

Sullivan County for me. Heading up Saturday morning around 11:00am. Staying until Wednesday night.

Does anyone use any calls or scents during opener of rifle in Pa, clearfield co.

I never have just because you don't need them in close, other than a mahhh to stop one nearby for a shot.

deer on public land have seen every trick in the book in PA. but give it a try it cant hurt anything. i bring my grunt tube just in case
