The Pennsylvania deer season opens on monday Dec 1st.I am anxious to get my butt out in the woods for the first two days.I have 2 doe tags and can also take a buck.My hunting areas are almost always public lands,so getting one early is usually the key.There are alot of super looking bucks...
Hi Big Sky, I appreciate your comment and appologize for not elaborating more on the info I have gotten about Montana.I believe the $1000.00 cost is only if you go through a licensed outfitter,then its a guarantee to draw??I have also heard that to draw a non-res tag applying yourself is a...
Hi Y'all,
I recieved the new(2004) Wyoming hunting application booklet yesterday and noticed that the non-resident deer licenses are up to 272.00 this year.Last year it was 220.00.I guess thats just the way things are going to be for hunting the west.Every year it gets closer and closer to the...
To take a legal deer in most parts of Pa, the deer must have at least 3 points on one side.It can be a true Y buck on one side(no brow tine) and have a brow tine and a Y on the other side and be legal.So,here in the east we count any point over 1 inch.

With all the doe I'd seen on my recent Wyo trip I can say that taking a doe isnt such a bad idea if your looking for meat.Some of the doe that I saw had to go 200 lbs.I guess a buck wasn't that important to her.WTG Mt,I can see she was very happy!
Hi mtmiller,
A few more words about the wyo trip.As far as hunting pressure in the powder river breaks I would have to say that I saw only a handfull of hunters in a vast area.The deer seemed to be there but they didnt like to come out of hiding during the day.Most of the deer activity seemed...
Hi Steiny
Glad to hear your back home safe and sound.I just returned home last nite.I went out to Gillette on the 16th with 3 other guys.I didnt see 900 deer, but saw many,many does also.The only bucks we saw were right before dark or just before dawn.We hunted the blm land sw of Gillette but...
Well I returned home yesterday from my mule deer hunt.Two years in a row now I have gone to Wyoming in quest of my first mule deer.It seems that I have been taking 80+ degree weather in my suitcase!!
After hunting 6 days three of us did not see one mulie buck.Plenty of does but not one buck.
The...
In Pa we can only use a crossbow in the deer gun season(almost any type of weapon is allowed then,muzzleloader,handgun,bow etc).Otherwise crossbows are for handicapped hunters only.My best buddy did 2 stints of duty in Nam then came home and fell out of an old tree stand,is paralyzed from the...
Hey,I didnt know that comedy like this is available here.This is better than Seinfeld.I'm sure syndication is near.Keep it up I am always looking for a good laugh in the morning.
Steiny,
Lots of luck on your hunt in region C.Dont kill em all,I'm arriving in region C on the 16th to 23rd.I will be hunting southwest of Gillette on BLM land till the 20th,then will shift to the Sheridan area if I need to.I'm sure your new bino's will come in handy.Where do you plan on...
From what I've read,there are about three states in the lower 48 that dont have a whitetail population.They are Calif,Nevada,and Arizona.The whitetail deer has been expanding its population year after year and may soon be found in all the 48 states.The whitetail has been pushing the mulies out...
Hi Mtmiller,

WTG Mtmiller,nice buck,but I'm sure there are some monsters in that area if what I was told last year is true.On my hunt in Region H last year we came upon a couple very large bucks but all we saw was azzend.
Were you anywhere near Bridger wilderness area?
I hunted near New Fork Lake north of...
WOW ...WTG MTMILLER.
Super pics and (I'm sure)unforgetable hunt.
Stuff like that sticks in your mind forever.Thats what it's all about!!Congrats. Pa ridge-runner
