1. Did all of my hunting in Fulton County (private property)

2. Saw deer every day on stand or in the woods, at least 8 every day. Saw quite a few nice buck but none within safe and ethical shooting distance for me.

3. Harvested 2 doe with the bow this year both management deer for our property. We took our target number of doe which was 6 off our property. Many buck seen but none taken.

1) beaver co
2) not as many as last year....still saw deer...but WAY less then last year.....without a good group of guys to drive deer with and being friends with the farmer who knows everyone access would be impossible without tresspassing...and we as a group dont kill every deer we see on every drive...we are for the most part horn hunters.....last year we took like 14 bucks and 6 does or something around there....this year we took 4 bucks 2 does and a button..we had to hunt very very hard this year......last year some guys were PICKY about bucks and mostly all still tagged a buck...this year we were just happy to see a flash of a deer....
3)2 does

I hunted mostly in Bradford County SGL # 36 and a bit in Lebanon County during the rifle season.
In the rifle season I did not see a deer until the first Thursday of the week. I was done hunting by this time, in the same game lands, in the past 2 years.
I shot a doe on Saturday. The second deer I saw all week. The other 3 guys scored 0 for the week.
(Bowseason was a bust due to personnel issues, not PGC policy.)

I hunted private property that is hunted hard in Huntington County and saw an average of 10 deer a day. I saw 2 mature 100 class bucks but didn't get a shot at either. I would guess they were both 3 1/2 years. I killed one doe. There were 3 other bucks shot off that 100 acres, pretty average for that area but much bigger deer than what we killed before AR.

I hunted Bradford County and saw average of 10 deer a day there as well. No bucks, but lots of does and tails. I didn't really hunt hard though because I had no doe tags for that area, and I already had 3 of them in the freezer at this point between Vermont and PA, and spent the time visiting with family.

1. Allegheny, Mercer, Elk, Cameron counties

2. seen a ton of deer in Allegheny and some small first year deer in Mercer. Very few in Elk & Cameron

3. Didn't harvest anything. Had several opportunities but kept holding out for a big 8 that I spotted a week before Archery season. Did get one shot at him. The twig that my arrow hit is very tasty...LOL

I hunted bradford county near SGL 36 on private property. I shot 2 does, one in early muzzleloader and one the first Wed. of rifle season. I saw plenty of deer on our property before the season started but the numbers during hunting season were low. In archery I hunted private property all over Lehigh county and on average would see 8-10 deer a night, but held out hoping for a nice buck which never did appear.
