Upon switching to public lands I found there were plenty of bucks to keep me interested. I also found there were plenty of hunters to mess me up. I'm not giving up but I do need to adopt a different approach.

One of these was wondering around not far from my home. Dang those PA bucks are smart. I wonder what he was wondering? Was he gazing up at the stars? A wise man is frequently humbled.

Pa blows 1)Too many hunters 2)Too long of seasons 3)No Sunday hunting 4)Lyme disease thicker than Mexicans in Arizona If you think Pa is the Meca of whitetail hunting, you're a babe in the woods friend.

The ticks are bad and getting worse every year, someone had better come up with a way to wipe them out...I've ended up in the hospital twice. Be safe out there

LOL I grew up there but work took me out west, used to go back every year for first week of buck but the hunting is not what it was when I was a boy in the mid 1960's. A few years ago I went back for bear season in Potter county once the best deer hunting in the state. After 3 days of hunting our group had a pair of bears but we saw zero deer. Have not gone back to hunt since, now days I actually see more deer in CA driving over the mountain to Malibu then my last few trips home
