PA Deer Season (firearms) over, how did you do?
#11
I saw 16 deer total. That is actually more in just 2 hours than I saw almost the entire rest of the season. One was a small 4 pointer and the rest were does. I could not get a clean shot at any of the adult does so I did not take anything on Saturday.
There is always the late season.

I scored on a 9pt the 1st day w/ an 18 inch inside spread.
I was helping out on drives the last day - walked up on a bedded 8pt that had a great rack. He'll be a dandy next year.

I dare anyone to tell me that deer hunting public land is better now than 10 years ago.
The 3 three bucks we took this year were all 2.5 year old deer and had nice racks, heck the one 8pt was the biggest deer ever killed in our camp ever, and thats since 1970.

I saw 14 doe and two bucks opening day, one of the bucks was a small eight. After that, I saw fewer deer each day until the last two days I hunted, I only had to share the woods with a couple squirrels on those days. There was little pressure and the deer found a quiet spot and stayed away from areas of hunter activity. I am waiting for muzzleloader to try to fill my buck tag.
