Yeah I know there is a subforum for it here but GD gets better exposure and is more lively. Hung a couple promissing stands over the holiday weekend and cleared lanes in a few others. Saw 6 real nice bucks in the area I hunt also. Five 8pts and a 7pt, all wider than their ears. Funny thing, last Wednesday I saw these deer all together in a bachelor group and they were in full velvet and then saw four of them 2 days later and their velvet was gone. I read that it gets shed in a a day or two.. Pretty cool. Will be out with the bow practicing in the evenings for the remainder of the fall.. I cant wait.. |
GPS coordinates or it never happened.

Wouldn't you like to know! Actually I hunt WMU 2C, more like a couple farms and old stripmine areas there. Many of the old strip mines are now grwon up thick and hold decent buck populations. The PGC has become dependent on doe tag revenue though so the numbers are not what they used to be. Used to see piles of deer but they were mostly does, now we have a better ratio. Interestingly enough I shot my first buck about a 1/2 mile from the impact of Flight 93.. My mother went to HS in Shanksville and lived a coulple miles from the site most of her life. |
| Sounds like you are good to go. I leave this Thursday for elk and then will be going each weekend until the end of the season on the 22nd. Of course I have to tell my wife I will be shooting one on the first weekend so I won't need to go on the remaining weekends. Can't wait to hear the bugles. |
) and start practicing....no rifle season in this county.

This past weekend I went over to my dad's farm and late Friday night we took a drive. In 8 miles we counted 263 deer. We had 3 bucks run across the road in front of us, all of which were at least 10-pointers and probably 16"+ across. I can't wait until rifle season starts in Nov. There are WAY more deer this year than last. |
