If you can't find any deer you fit into one of these categories:
-you're stubborn. You expect deer to be where they used to be or where you want them to be.
-you're not physically capable of getting out and getting after them where they are.
-Or youre just not as knowledgeable about deer and deer habitat as you think you are.
All of those things get compounded by age. Not knocking anyone . it's just the way it is. And as a post script. I don't archery hunt or participate in early muzzleloader, and I rarely get a chance to flintlock hunt anymore , simply because I'm out of tags. There are deer everywhere.
I knew this thread would be ruined by one the huntingpa chest beaters. Bring your asses to 4A , and give it a try next yr if you want to voice an opinion on the hunting. There are literally half (if that) the deer there used to be HERE. Anyone that can't see that don't know his azz from a hole in the ground.Not wherever you do your great white hunting, but HERE in 4A. WTF do you think you are anyhow? Your opinion is just that, so don't think it carries anymore weight than anyone elses.
There you have it. Half of the deer equals no deer? There's a magic boundary that keeps you limited to hunting inside of zone 4a? I'm sure id run out of tags in 4a too. Pretty sure we just processed a few does from 4a in my friends shop last week. They must have been the last ones in the whole zone.....as far as huntingpa, I can't stand those morons more than any other sane person can.
Fill your tags? You may, or you may not. Only way to know, or to make us believers is hunt 4A for a few yrs. So bring your smarmy ass on over and take the challenge. You'll never know how it is without trying. That's my point... From my perspective PA deer hunting has sucked for some time. The pgc cashed in on the doe herd yrs ago, and they now sell 3 times as many doe tags as we have deer on the hoof. I also have my doubts that we have bigger bucks than we used to. The now closer buck doe ratio, antler restrictions, and longer archery seasons all contribute to more bigger bucks taken perhaps. I've seen big bucks around here all my life... Alt surely didn't make it happen here.... before he was run out of the state.
