Jesse, one buck per year through out the entire state. Doe tags very from management unit to management unit. They are all by drawing. In my unit your lucky to get one doe tag. Pennsylvania is different from any other state, it has more hunters than deer.

Well, I missed the rut by a few days. :o Last week end they said the shooting was heavy. One member's son shot a nice 18", 7 point that went 170 live weight. This weekend we couldn't buy a deer! >:(  Pat

Had a great week and seen a lot of deer. My buddies that was in from Ohio missed 6 shots
4 by one and 2 by the other.Seen 2 nice buck Sat. evening and thought I was going to get a shot at a big 10 point ,had him clear at 28 steps but that is a little much for me.He just wouldn't come any closer.Did take a doe so the week was fine.Had good weather and the rut just seems to come and go around here.Nice buck Ryan and beautiful picture with the snow.Grant[castIron] took a 6 point and even tho it was with a custom long bow I thought it would be ok here. ;) The muzzler loader season was open so there were some nice buck taken around here.

Well the week is over and Steve (Hillbilly) and his buddy J.T. are home, back in western NC. I had invited them up here because they lost their area to hunt in down the road a bit from me. Too close to civilization etc. I have a selection (That means a ton) of deer that come thru here and did not pressure them for a week till they came.  It was M.L. season, (OK, OK its not with a bow), starting on the 3ed of Nov. and they scouted and set up their stands and started hunting on the 5th. All told they got 4 deer, two apeice. One 4 point, one button and two Doe. I was real glad they could do it. I will give the deer a week or so to calm down and then go out with the long bow and see what is up. Steve probably could have gotton one with the bow because at one point he said there were so many deer below him he could not figure out which one to shoot. I do believe the deer did not know they were in the area because they kept comming in on the virtual same pattern. Below is a selection of photos of what kept comming in at all hours of the day and night. The area is directly in back of my house and the food plot is clover and some soy bean. I feed them a lot of corn also. We "do not" hunt this area but put the stands up a ways away. There is a passel of trails comming thru the south portion of the property, about 300 yards away,  and that is where the guys got them.

Heading out after work today. Will be the last bowhunting for a few weeks, rifle season opens the 15th and I will be avoiding the
gun toting crazies ;) I plan on going out with the 06 to fill a couple of doe tags in another area but I don't consider it hunting just grocery
shopping ;D Must have some venison for the long cold winter eh.

Hunted only behind my house this weekend. Even though I can get into the stand really quietly, I think they've scented me to often over the last couple of weeks.  Only saw two does across the hollow Saturday morning, and nothing during the evening hunt. I don't know where the deer are likely to come from, and also the wind changes so much it is hard to try and hunt the wind.

Yep, Dick-weme and JT had a great time, thanks again-you don't know how much we enjoyed it and appreciate it. Spent all day yesterday processing and packaging venison, and the freezer's looking a lot better now. Hope we didn't stir 'em up too much.

Well no deer this year, but on this past Monday morning I had one of the biggest whitetail bucks 4x5 standing about 40 yards from me for about 40 seconds. I couldn't draw back the string without scaring him off. Boy how fast my heart got going for that brief time. I saw him again the next morning, good hunting, just no meat in the freezer. I'm waiting for a friend to call so I can go help him cut up his elk.

Plan on getting after them hard this weekend and next week,this is usually a good week
especially after the week end when the guns slow down.I put up a couple of new stands with a lot of good buck sign ,so I have high hopes at least on some sightings.We all know how the shots goso sometimes just seeing a good buck is enough.Good hunting to all and I will let you know
how it turns out in a week or so. :)

I think Anthony and I are going to keep Pappy company some this coming week. Looking forward to huntin', eatin', and scrapin'! ;D

Got to get through a Saturday at work first...I'm in here working with Maintenance getting ready to move a brake press this morning instead of sitting in a treestand. Tell me again why we have to work... ;D

I've got a couple deer in the freezer and after this past weekend gun season the deer are really stirred up.   

  SOOO, I think I'm going to give some turkey a bit of a try.  Have a couple roost trees in mind to go sit under some evening and see if they will come when I'm there!!

  Had made a short osage I can shoot sitting on the ground and was planning on using it for a spring season but think I'll try it this fall.

 I've  never have gotten a turkey with bow so wish me luck!!! ;D
