I was out pretty much all day monday, saw only one deer that I couldn't get a shot at. No one was out near me. Lots of far off shooting, only one guy within 600 yds. Its very tough if you don't have people pushing.

Rybo,
That bonfire you was a standin' near, was scarin' 'em all cuz of the smoke an such.

Too damn cold yesterday!

RE: PA after christmas hunt...
 

LOL it was cold!
Went to lower my bow from my tree and the handle was frozen to my glove. I guess sweat vapor came through the glove and froze when it hit the metal between the grips. Took a liitle bit of pryin to get the glove loose without tearing it up!

Whereabouts in the Burgh can one get these doe tags... Over-the-counter?

RE: PA after christmas hunt...
 

OTC at the County courthouse, Grant St, downtown PGh, Treasurers office. Might want to call other County treasurers in 2b if you hate Pgh traffic as much as I do

Well today the last day of gary alts employment to the PGC , i was lucky enough to harvest a doe. Took the smokepole out with the cousin and his daughter and a friend , walkin in we were BSin about what drive to do , my buddy goes" y not do taht drive " and points to our left toward a thicket . Next he goes " wait , there is a dead deer right there, no wait its jsut bedded down" We all look at once and see the doe layin down , my cousins daughter shoulders her shotgun and takes a crack , but missed.... I had my thompson center encore with my scope out for doe in 2B so i was watchin as the dirt flew up infront of it. the deer stayed put not even flinching , so my cousin said to take it , and i put a shockwave sabot into it. just rolled over and lay dead.

That makes 4 deer for me tis year , killed one with every weapon i have to take deer , still have a tag , and play on maybe taking one more doe with my 22-250 barrel i got for my encore , that should do with 55 grain balistic tips and a well placed shot in the head or neck!

This year our freezer is almost full , the jerky jsut goes so fast!!!

Goodluck to all that are still out!

Went out this morning with the bow. 4 does and 2 BB's came in right around 7:30. 3 does and 2 BB's left around 7:35;). I helped convince the biggest doe to "hang out" for awhile..... in my garage;)

Time to fire up the smoker!

RE: PA after christmas hunt...
 

Congrats BTB...I went out with my buddy today for a little while with teh smokepoles again , it was jsut tooo dang hot out to see anything, i might go out around 330 with the bow for a quick evening hunt if i can getmy deer all packaged up by then, either that or i might have t break out the fishing gear , feels more like first day of trout then the first day of january!!!
