got some snow on the ground! going to be a cold couple of mornings on stand but I am running out of time turkey season starts next weekend and small game this weekend the deer are going to be nocturnal for sure.
Elk county and we do have more elk then deer just so you know
found first signs of scrapes yesterday found two different small ones about 75yds apart. seeing lots of does and small bucks then hit a dry spell were i wont see any for a couple days. had a doe closing at 45yds and muzzleloader hunters blew it for me. he chased six deer right by me. its pointless to wrap your tree and identify where you are if people arent going to respect it. that guy saw my orange and pushed through anyway. cant wait for the big ones to come out to play
Finally starting to see some movement from some shooters, got a trail cam pic of one last Wed. morning around 9, if only I didn't have to work for living. Watched a young 8 point chasing a group of does around this past Sat. morning, grunting and acting like one of the big boys. It won't be long now if this cold weather keeps up like it has been.
The chase is on!!! I live in south central PA. I was out last evening about 4pm, and didn't see a thing until 6:15, then I saw 17 deer between then and dark. They were running all over the place, and the buck were chasing the doe all around. To bad I had to go to work today, but I think I'll take off tomorrow. I was not able to go out the evening before (Tuesday), but I drove out just before dark and saw a buck chasing a doe all over the field that night too.
Well is anything going on out there in the woods or what. I am more excited for bear season and rifle season at the end of the month I just got a brand new 30 ought 6 model 700.

Well i guess it is full swing here high in the 30s must have done it. I personally haven't been out in 3 weeks cause i work every f'n day. But my one friend hit one with his truck came out chasing a doe its neck was swollen as could be. it weighed 190 pounds but it had ganggreen from something.

Yah well archery season is over. Any one goin out for that 2 day archery bear hunt? I will pass on that i am going to have hard enough time seeing one with the ought 6 next monday. WHERE IS THE SNOW? hope its here before the 30th. good luck if anyone even comes on here.

Well rifle season is finally here first day on monday my favorite day of the year. Good luck to all. I really wish we could have snow on the ground but doesn't look like that is going to happen. Its going to be tough for me now because where i rifle hunt i sit rate where 2 hollows meet its a nice place with all the laurel and hunters on top its a nice place they like to run by to find the next laurel patch. But anyways I watch the moutain sides the deer can be far out as 150 to 200 yards on the one hillside and when there is an antler restrictions and no snow its going to be difficult to make sure it has 3 points on 1 side and you know there going to be running most of the time. So I am hopeing I have an easy to tell shooter come running by down in the hollow. No doe hunting allowed till sat for 2g.
Oh and no bear for me i sat in my rifle stand on mon seen 8 deer and tues seen 1 deer and some elk. Go figure I hate elk. they are stupid i could see them everyday if i wanted to and walk rate up to them and they wouldnt care.
Happy Thanksgiving

I have seen a lot of rubs and scapes here in southwestern PA in the last week and a half.
