oldblue Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Well guys and gals we have been almost all of the way through archery season, had a muzzleloader season, gun season for seniors. What is everybody seeing out there. I can tell you that I have not seen one deer in the woods yet and I have hunted every Saturday except one since September 30th and a few other days on vacation. However, I will say that I am most interested in getting in the woods with my 84 year old father and we have not paid a lot of attention to scent or anything like that. Let me know what you have been seeing. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoyt03 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Re: Pennsylvania Deer Hunting I have seen deer basically every hunt I've been on this year except maybe 3 or 4 times. Keep in mind this is hunting everyday since the opener. Granted the numbers of does I see are way down, usually only see 2 to 4 in a group now, but see them regularly. I have only seen 3 bucks this year while in stand. One was a spike, one was a 6 and the other was that nice 8 i saw monday night while my bow was sitting at home, lol. The time I have not seen deer is when I hunted my old hunting areas. The deer are just not in there anymore. I have been very lucky to gain permission to hunt a large portion of acres on a farm that is basically untouched by any other hunters. If it wasnt for this farm, or the 30 or so acres behind my sisters place I see deer numbers way down. It goes back to the fact that the entire state cannot be regulated under the same rules. Every area is different and needs its own consideration. The public ground around me in 5A is hurting for deer numbers. I feel for those who are forced to hunt here. Deer hunting is good for me this year and last but only because I got permission to hunt untouched private ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Re: Pennsylvania Deer Hunting I've been out almost everyday this archery season. I want to say I've seen 20 or so bucks, 2 were legal that I can think of, none I even gave 3 seconds of thought about shooting. Lots of 1 1/2 year olds, and older guys with garbage racks. I'm seeing a fair amount of doe I guess, but the numbers are still pretty low overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am that guy, the one who is hunting on game lands or open land. Oh well, still having fun, but would love to see "A" deer even it was 100 yards away. Keep smiling.
