I have a tree stand on Mount Nittany range probably 6 miles from he PSU stadium. Meeting up at 4:30 in the woods for the climb to the top. Classic PA mountain top, laurel, limestone, and oak. Glad I can still make the climb, and the wisdom that dragging one down is a big decision. Good luck guys.

Made it back to DuBois and just got back from a couple hour visit with gophergunner, efw, njbgalt, and the rest of the crew at camp.
Good time and like most BS sessions at camp, the first liar never had a chance.
Good Luck to anyone who is still up and reading this.

7 Doe, 1 Fox, 1 Squirrel and 1 Field Mouse. No horned creatures to be found. Did blind another with my headlamp going in, not sure which flavor it was. Beautiful day though, tomorrow, not so much...

Huge bodied deer slipped by me as I was walking in. 2 doe about 9. I was hoping that big bodied deer would come back out, unfortunately some guys drove the cut out just before dark and pushed it out the other side. Ran by em on the way out and they said it had a nice rack but none could get a shot. Bout pisses me off, but hey, its public land huntin. I know where he went so ill see if I can get after him tomorrow.

Only saw 3 does today, buddy saw dozen deer by noon including 2 bucks but no shots for him. Same farm, just different sides of the road. Go figure.

Hunted Luzerne County today. Saw 4 does around 10, but that was it. Shooting was very, very light. Maybe 5-6 shots between sunrise and 11am.

Light drizzle, 39 degrees and in a bunch of pain, but just about to walk in nonetheless. 6 miles drive, another 5 miles on a loggin rd, only saw 2 vehicles. Hopefully what little pressure they put on em is done now. Most will go home today. Should get better from here on out if I can hang in there. Good luck guys!

I love the woods and the hunt to much for that! Good luck to you guys staying out in the field. I used to hunt 2 weeks, but since I got Lyme only a week. None of the camps near us stay past wednesday. With the rain, id bet when I get back to camp we are the only ones left, except maybe my cousin, or my uncles. They definitely go home wed. Woods are completely dead, havent heard a shot all morning. Had a yearling 10 ft from me, but thats it. I cant get around like I used to, so ill be waiting em out. But again, ya most people hunt a day or two and done.

Nice buck 200!!
t, the guys are right after the first day, Monday, things are pretty quiet.. Until the Saturdays.. I retired in 1999 and hunted there pretty often, not very year, but most.. I hunted every day.. Things were dead during the week, but it made hunting great because the deer calmed down.. Miss it, maybe next year..
Pa, sorry to hear about the Lymes.. That has ruined the Pa hunting for me..

Got up this morning and felt like crap (coming down with something I guess) plus it was windy as hell and raining. Went back to bed, got up around 9 and hit the woods for a 4 hour stroll. No deer or hunters seen. I did hear 20 or so shots while I was out so somebody was in the woods besides me.
Work calls, so I came home late this afternoon but will be back to the farm on Friday afternoon and Saturday.
