Just returned from my yearly hunt -- 1st time in 20 years the group came back empty.. We did see buck chasing does etc.. just nothing close - Great trip overall but we give it 2 reasons why no deer --
What do you think??
PA new rules

1) Buck must have 3 antler on one side to be legal
2) Muzzle loader season for a full week shooting does before the
archery guys get in the woods.. In-line also so they really are shooting rifles at does for a week

What do you guys think?

Just checkin in, Well the buck count is low but the doe count is getting better. Got my 2 doe tags filled,

one on Sat and one today. No Bucks yet, have seen a few but none with 4 points on one side.
Here in Armstrong county they have to have 4 points on one side.
I think the season is getting too long, for does. You have archery season for a whole month, then bear season for 3 days, then rifle season for 2 weeks, then muzzle loader season after that. so yep too many days of pressure in the woods.

MY sister in law got a really nice HUGE 8 point that has a 19 1/2 inch spread. I will put pictures up when I get home. We also had alot of really big bucks come in to the butcher shop. Mostly off of posted ground, loosing ground just as fast for hunting as fishing. Used to be able to go to any adjoining farm next to my mom and dads and hunt, not any more!!!!

We need snow as the brush here is pretty think so its hard to see them, and you could walk right past them and unless you step on them they won't even twitch.

Hope everybody had a happy turkey day. I will check back in a little later. Just wanted to say Hi !!!!!
