Schuylkill County Report
Last night I heard from my buddy up by Pitman, PA (near Hegins). He shot a 15 pointer yesterday. It had forked brow tines and G-2s. He said you could barely get your hands around the bases. This is farm country.

That sounds like a sweet buck[]. I have hunted up in that area with my family a number of times and they always seem to get some real nice bucks out of there. My family live in Shenadoah (sp). Its usually some really great hunting with a lot of activity. We usually hunt right near a coal mining strip and the deer feel safe there for some reason. But Hope to see pictures of that soon.

Every year they get beautys out of Schuylkill County. Up north by ashland, shenadoah, minersville, and tremont. Also Pine Grove is another good place thats where I spend most of my time. If you ever get here to hunt blackwood is the place to be for huge buck but it gets hunted hard. Everyone goes there and every year they pull monsters out of there.

Where is Blackwood? My family hunts in Shenadoah area in the coal mining strips. We usually go what THEY call the Heights and pass a cemetary to get to this place. Don' t know the name of it but its usually great hunting and a lot of fun.

Blackwood is about 8 miles square between pottsville and pine grove. Towns surrounding it are minersville, tremont, ravine. I know where you are talking about and yes thats good hunting up there too. Blackwood is about the same old strip mines, ravines all that good stuff. All of schuylkill county is about the same

This buck was taken from Pitman. It' s near Lavelle, not too far from route 901. His farm is also a pheasant preserve so they have lots of food plots and cover as well as farm crops and wood lots. This is the same area that the same guy got a big 10-pointer a few years ago. Every year they get some big, corn-fed monsters.

Thanks Schuylkill, The area I was talking about got I think 2-3 years ago a beautiful 9 pointer that they said would score in the 150 and were after a huge 12 typical that the coal miner workers saw on a regular basis that would blow that 9 pointer away but never heard of that one being taken. There are some really great hunting in those coal mines.
Thanks
