Great season, I took 7 deer between PA and NY, MY son took 4, nephew 1, and my dad missed one. We helped by giving 4 deer to friends and a few families in need. Now its time to dig my ice fishing stuff out and grind some meat to make more jerky, hot and sweet sausage. We just dropped hogs off at butcher 1/4 so ill have plenty of fresh pork to mix. First time in my life every deer I shot died in sight, with the longest "track" being 40 yards. 2/4 sons in sight longest track 70 yards, nephews just out of sight 50 yard track.

i do the same as you, i clear my mz every time i get home. I put a piece of an antler in my bag now to do it.

Brought my 8 yr old daughter out at 3 for her first hunt, she made it till 4:30 and we saw one small one. She snored for an hour. Tons of deer on drive home! She made me stop every time. My last hunt of the season will be in the morning. Got another family lined up if I can connect on a doe or buck with my reg season tag.

Last dmp filled, folded her

Heading out to 7p in am

Saw a fawn and a coon tonight.

Heck its to nice out to be at work, i'm leaving at 2 and gonna grab the smoke pole.

Might hunt a day or two in holiday hunt, other than that it’s been a great season. My son got 4, I got 5, between 2 states. Pa was rough, it’s still snow covered there and all the deer were hanging on neighbors with green patches that melted but we didn’t have any spots like those.

Had a good friend go out this morning and shot a young buck chasing doe. Might have to sneak out after work Thurs.

Neither dad or I saw anything this evening. Smoke pole is ready I’ll be out friday

Saw three doe this am. Headed to pa camp. Told my dad to hunt where I hunted this weekend. Tons of tracks and sign from early Nov.

i shoot most my deer with the bow so i dont do that lol. Although sometimes i do, Its really the only time any of us feel little to no stress at all is in the woods.

might sneak out after work for the last hour. walk around a bit in this wind.

PA opener was not bad, I saw over 10 deer from the cabin, but didnt feel like takin a doe, actually no one wanted doe first weekend. I sat in a blind sun evening and saw two bucks fighting 500 yards away (200 yards from another guy). Got on the radio and boom 30 minutes later the bigger 8 pt was dead. prolly 100". Fri and sat will be my last two days as I have to work Sunday. But the smoke pole is ready too. Cut my sons doe from wed up last night, perfect temps to let her hang for 5 days.

Took to my dad I’ve seen deer every sit this year 3-14 of them. Tons of tracks but nothing seen. He’s gonna hit a few spots this weekend I told him too. I’m heading to PA camp.
