The deer are not rebounding in the areas of 3B & 3D (Lackawanna & Luzerne counties) where I hunt....this is really obvious, particularly on public lands where the herd has been decimated over the last 20 or so years. Not saying there aren't any deer, a few nice bucks are taken every year but, the doe numbers are really, really down and it seems to be getting worse. Personally don't shoot doe but, in 3B anterless deer are not legal until the second week of the season....should be saying something about the deer herd. Have had some success as I'm retired and can spend as many hours in the woods as I want but, how does a 13 or 14 year old hunter stay motivated after sitting in the woods all day and not seeing a tail? There's definitely more action in playing a video game.
