5 good reasons to stay out of Pa. There are more, but no need to rub it in any worse.

I've lived in Pa. for 30 yrs, so staying out isn't an option unless they recall my green card

Bummer, glad you can at least get out and hunt Deer elsewhere. Many of us are not so fortunate.

For most of my hunting career we had the farm in PA. The hunting was amazing. In 2010 the farm got sold. 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.

We only have nothing but 90-100 BC runts. Save your money and time. Stay away. 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.

I mainly hunt 2D. Usually somewhere around Templeton and the Mahonning Creek.
Have to admit it may be Tick Central for Pa. They serve no useful purpose.

Now I remember why I hunt the midwest, Pa has gone to total crap. Sure has... A better buck to doe ratio, and bigger deer. Who would want that? I guess it was better back when we were shooting spikes and forkies after glassing 20 does... Shhhhhh! You keep this up and the dumpfuques might start paying attention......

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 PGC is all about money, not conservation or management. Not only a dumbazz but a cheap foch too.

It's bad news if you haven't had the pleasure, and some people don't get the bullseye wound...they are really in trouble with no warning.

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

Hunt...
