Anyone else going afterem today?
Naw. Instructional morning. Helping a young friend skun, flesh & board Fox this morning.
This afternoon, hope to clean up the last of the fallen leaves. (but my rifle will be nearby)

Sunday, am going to do a 'ride-a-long' with Nittany Lion on his Mink line. I've been riding with him for many, many years each Deer season. Always a great experience and fun. He usually has 200+ traps to check & maintain. But NL said he had a slow start with high water and early snowfall. Am sure with no rain for the pass few days and until Sunday, NL will have a good size line out for Sunday check.

good on you Hern.

pcr2, come over this afternoon. You can run the tractor & pick up leaves, I'll stand by a tree and watch you and watch for Deer

son pulled cards from cameras last night and was shocked at the amount of deer movement mon. night then the pics quit when that wind took off.movin this mornin as i can see 9 in the cornfield now.

I've got two 3A doe tags and three 5C doe tags. I've already filled one of the 3A (early muzzleloader) and one of the 5C (first day concurrent rifle season). I usually kill 2-3 doe a year but this year I'd like to fill as many tags as I can, wife's orders!

Last year my new shop was under construction, the old shop that had occupied that space was torn down and everything inside was under tarps in the back yard. So I didn't really have any place to process deer. I sat out the first morning and watched eight doe walk by me (was holding out for a nice buck). I thought, "this is stupid" and went home and continued working on the shop.

As a result, I didn't get any deer last year, the first time in over thirty years that has happened. We ran out of venison, sausage and scrapple, wife was not happy! I am under orders to fill the freezer with enough deer to make sure it lasts until after next deer season!

Full freezer=happy wife=happy life! LOL

Man did I ever get hit with this bug last evening I even broke out in hives, scared the crap out of my wife, she never seen it before on me, I knew it wouldn’t last was gone by this morning. I still feel a little rough this morning I hope it’s gone by tomorrow. Two days of vacation left.

Found a bunch yesterday, seen from Walmart parking lot, Allegheny County. Two good racks among them.
Stay tuned for, leasing out your kitchen window for trophy buck$. lol

Largest herd I've seen in twenty years.

Edit. I had those hives bad last year. The Doc nor I knew why.

big bear swam the river last night and has to be holed up in the riverbottom somewhere cause there's no tracks comin out.like the blues brothers were,i'm on a mission from god.we'll see.

oh yeah,got a good ol fashioned landowner dispute goin on across the river bottom.now one has his truck stuck and the other is just a screamin at the top of HER lungs.know why the bear bailed from there now.gonna go watch my piece and see what else they kick out or if the big bear tries to sneak back in there.soon as i finish my venison stew that is.

man,dodge must build a mean transmission.i'm thinkin i should be videoin this.

I forgot bear season is in I do have a license

Pcr2 from the sounds of it, you’re probably seeing more action today than most will see all season.lol. Can’t wait till Saturday, all my neighbors will be driving for doe, and I’m just gonna sit back and wait. Two doe tags, a thermos of coffee and my rifle on an open field between two thickets. I like my chances.
Best of luck everyone and keep at it.

po po come and took away all my fun and the bear crossed back and must be in town.

I love the Model 70. I have a Model 70 Ranger Youth in .243 that my dad got me when I was 8. I have shot every deer I’ve ever shot in my life with a rifle with that gun but 2. The other 2 were with my sons .223 the year I got it for him just to see how it was going to do on deer. The Ranger Youth was only made for 2 years if I remember correctly. It came with a coupon to send it in and get an adult stock put on it for free when the Youth stock was too small. I love the compact Youth stock, and mine was never sent in to have the stock changed.

Question for you guys back there. Are you all hunting private. Is there any ground that’s public just curious

Lots of good public land in PA- State forests, national forest. lots of game lands.
May not find many trophies, but we have lots of deer.

Yes there’s good public land to hunt around here, this buck was killed the first day on public land near me
