Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Best wishes to the Ohio and Pa. boys

I'll be in Carbon, hunting the park in my backyard. NCwill have to wait until December. The big guy I had summerpics of got himself perished by a teenager. Still saw a few respectables run by during Bear season.

I'll be hunting both states throughout the week. Good luck ya'll.

So many of these towns and counties are names I'm familiar.with. Our hunting area is Boone Mountain in Clearfield County. So many great memories. It's a long haul from Minneapolis, so I wont' be going this year. Special wishes for good luck to my friend EFW and the boys from Michigan. Their football teams really suck, but these boys know how to hunt deer. EFW took a nice buck back behind our camp last fall.

Got home this afternoon from my daughters place down near Reading. Am headed north to DuBois in the AM. Hopefully will be able to meet up with EFW and his buddies to say hello or drink a beverage or swap lies or...

They're staying in a cabin at Treasure Lake, Dale.

We’re all ready for tomorrow had a great visit w/ DaleK outside of DuBois best wishes for a safe & successful hunt yall!

Yeah I saw it, I don't think 'cabin' in a good description. But it was a good visit, swapped a lot of stories, did a lot of laughing. Even saw 2 deer, one on the way there and one on the way home.

Good luck to all,

Dale

Glad you guys matched up. A good bunch of men for sure. Good luck guys.

I'm happy with what I got. PA 6 point from yesterday at noon.

Nice deer MM. Congrats.

Mm nice buck; I haven’t even seen a deer while hunting yet. Leaving tomorrow hoping one of us tags out!

My buddy went home[DuBois/Treasure Lake] Sunday. His yard in TL backs up to state game lands. He's never hunted it but plans to this week. His 13YO needs more hunting than the few days they spend down here in VA.

Good luck all!

Thanks guys.

Well, I'm home for a couple of days, will head north again on Friday. I saw 8 does on Monday and a buck. My buddy passed on 2 legal bucks, one was pretty small and according to him, the other was a 'Saturday' buck, not a opening day buck. Of course, he'll probably never see it again!

The buck I saw was in the brush row at the edge of a corn field about 200 yds. away. I could see the white around it's muzzle and eye and could see antlers among the brush but couldn't tell if it had enough points. I first saw it at 4:30 PM, it still hadn't stepped out into the open by 5:00 so I gave up. Hunted until noon on Tues. but didn't see anything besides squirrels. Did hear some shots so somebody saw something.

Raeford the deer in here are INSANE! Like flies on poo!!!!

We’re hunting this morning then headed home. My good buddy saw his first buck, a fork-horned unicorn, and it walked 3/4 of a circle around him till he couldn’t handle the temptation any longer, stood up and shooed it away.

Been up & down the mountain a lot and absense of acorns makes em hard to locate but just being here in this gorgeous setting is great for my soul!

Wish us luck,

Efw

My mother lives in Treasure Lake. You fellers should explore the archery hunt up there. I think permits are fairly easy to acquire.

Came up empty. Monday and Tuesday I saw a ton of doe and 4 non legal buck. Then the wind kicked up. Rest of the week I didnt see a deer, except leaving camp tonight 8 doe in our front yard. Wednesday I tracked a mature buck into 10 ft high laurel. With my health, and hunting by myself, there was no way I could get in there and push him out. Vacations over for the year, so im done. Ill give her hell next year.

Just getting back from my return to roots Pa adventure. Killed a decent 8-pt saturday on a swamp drive. He wasnt very wide but beautiful tall tines. 270 with a 110 TTSX. I was standing on the edge of a 12-14 creek burm, he came out of the swamp zig-zagging before following the creek. It was tough to stay on him and have a good field of view of trees and braches as I was swinging the rifle with it on 4x. I dropped him at about 20-25 yards. My first time using a mono and was quite impressed. That little bullet hit the spine about midway, continued downward and away, through the back of the lungs before leaving an 1.5" exit on the far side of the ribs. He dropped as if struck by lightning. Best part was no bullet fragments to sort through. All in all our crew did pretty good. I have never seen so much rutting activity during rifle season. Couldve sworn it was the first week in Nov. Still have my doe tag, so might head back after Christmas with the flintlock. Had a nice backstrap dinner with the family and washed it down with a Black and Tan, life is good 👍, now where are those middlesworth Bar-B-Q chips....

I went back to Ohio to hunt with my brother & nephews. We got a couple antlerless deer in Belmont County on public land. Not much shooting & didn't see another hunter in the woods. It's not like it use to be. Bob.

Heck, you guys were basically in my back yard! Had I seen this earlier, I would have made an attempt to meet you guys. I'm always up for meeting some legends of the fire!
