Pennsylvania Deer Camp

[Yoder]

I did some still hunting this morning until about 11 in the crunchy snow. Just moving real slow, blowing a grunt call as I moved. I was hunting ridge tops. I saw 4 doe. One came up a drainage and popped out at 20 yards. I had my scope on 6x, all I could see was brown in the scope. I rushed the shot and missed! I could have almost no scoped her. She spun around and dropped down the drainage. Never got a second shot. I had another one in my scope but no shot. Last one I took a shot at one running at about 60 yards but missed again. That one wasn't surprising. Didn't kill anything but a great day.

Was lucky enough to be invited to the PA opener and camp this year, Best 100 bucks I’ve spent, had a great time, saw lots of deer, looking forward to next year.

Don’t take it for granted

I don't.

Tobyhanna - I got a good doe first hour Saturday morning. Only buck I saw was a 1 horned spike sunday morning.

We aren't too far from there. Camp is Lake Harmony/Albrightsville.

I was in camp from the Friday after Thanksgiving until this past Sunday and hunted every day. I filled my buck tag in archery and was hoping for one antler less deer to top off the freezer. I had multiple opportunities that didn't work out early on and wound up having to make the 2 mile hike on Saturday to fill my tag. Ultimately, we had a good camp with 6 deer taken. 1 buck and 5 antler less deer. Several people didn't have buck tags.

That's so crazy to me that PA has 1 buck tag for the year and not 1 archery and 1 rifle at a minimum.
We hunt the SGL's around Toby, it's loaded with bear and coyote sign, lacking for deer I find, also it's just to flat for my liking, I prefer ridges. I only do the opening weekend.

Im across the Delaware river in NJ, we have 6 buck tags and unlimited does for most of the state. Just have to shell out the $$$.
