Headed to camp in Bradford County in the morning. A bunch of good ones on the cameras this year. Everyone is excited.

Good luck, PA hunters!

Good luck! Hope you nail a whopper. Make sure air pressure in truck tires is checked, dont need no blowouts carrying that arsenal LOL

Good luck be safe, everyone is sighting in today here in 1A.

Hunting Cambria county (2E) in the AM, lots of sign. Good luck all!

Good luck!
Some years I sat in the hollow on my farm, some years up by the beacon light, other times up back of Brooksville, or over on Cherry Run, or up off Pine Creek. Gosh I miss PA. Had hoped to be there, but can't stand the long car ride this year. Hopefully a few more brackets and deck screws in my back and I can shiver on a stump next year.
I'll be thinking about you'uns tomorrow.

I'll be behind my house in 2-D

Good luck everyone.
I'll be around home in 1B.

My late friend had a 100+ acre farm at Gettysburg, just off Red Rock Road, within sight of the Eisenhower Farm. We hunted it for about a decade, until his divorce forced him to sell and he moved to WV. What a great place it was. Bisected by Marsh Creek, about half was woods and brushy meadow. Killed my first antlered deer there with the longest shot I’ve ever had to take at one. Miss those days, and my friend, who passed in 2016 at 96 and is buried at Arlington.

Best of luck to all of you.

Tinemaster, I too spent many a day in Susquehanna Co. chasing whitetails. Haven't hunted PA in 27 years since I moved to Colorado. Good times. Be safe and good luck to all of the PA hunters!

Hell, man, I'm excited and I live Kansas!

Good luck tomorrow, Men!

My local woods areas in Armstrong have become a prison I can't get into. Traveled approximately 7 miles of one backroad today. Posted on both sides. Some of which I have a good idea were done so illegally. A landowner who owns thousand of acres throughout the county, and allows hunting, has signs that were not signed. None of the purple paint on trees, which now signifies posted. Unless onXhunt is behind on updates, and he rarely sells, something is up. Have plans to talk with him shortly.

Now that the main gun season has wrapped up, did any of you PA boys have any luck?

Nope. Never even had one present a shot. Only saw 2 deer.

Went for a walk in the morning before chores. Spotted a two deer out in a freshly picked corn strip. It was too dark to get a good look at them, but it looked like a decent buck and a doe.
I snuck out to the top of a diversion ditch and got ready for a prone shot. As the sun came up I could tell it was a good buck. It started to walk towards the mountain, I fired one shot at 340 yards. The buck jumped and went about ten yards. It looked dead on its feet but I shot once more and it tipped over.
