was in my stand at 5:45 a.m. All kinds of movement from 6 - 6:15, couldn't see anything, sun came up, nothing until a deer club came through, saw a doe about 35 yards in front, but I couldn't get a clear shot. Didn't see anything else the rest of the day. Congrats on the Big Deer.:p

Lets just say that I think the deer in PA have gone south for the winter!! [down] This is the worst season PA has ever had. I have spoken with alot of hunters and no one is seeing anything anywhere!!!! Today we went out this morning in the drizzle and only seen 3 does and 1 spike, and all of the deer were way far away. I also spoke with nightstalker911 and they didnt see anything today either. He is leaving early cause they are frustrated!!! I am doing the same and coming back in a few hours, and gonna try it again saturday. Hope something changes soon!!!

Back from Zone 2. 3 shots heard from 7--7.30am and then nothing until my Dad took a good sized doe at 9am. He was psyched and took it from his swamp stand. When he was gutting her out he spooked a good sized group of deer.

I got skunked and took the oppty to post part of the farm, trim my gun stand and bask in my Dad's glow.

I just got back from my spot in 10. I got in about 6:15 AM. Didn't see anything until 8:00AM when a mature doe busted out of a chute into the field about 150 yards away - no shot. I moved my stand closer to where she came out and after an hour or so saw 5 smaller deer following what looked like a button to me. While I had my scope on the button I decided not to take the shot. I have mixed feelings about shooting immature deer. Right now I wish I took him. Oh well.

Just in from the evening post. Hunted zone 10 off Crabapple Rd. Seen nothing but bucks tonight, no doe. Nothing of size, just scrub bucks.
PS Razorsharp, apologize if I got you confused with someone else. Give me a meeting location in Holland, I'll buy you breakfast and call it even. Small world that you hunt that area, that's my second best spot........:D

I hunted till 11AM and saw 3 Doe. In the afternoon I had a Doe with a broken leg come by at 70 yards.I was only going to shoot her to be ethical, but no shots were presented.
My friend missed a 6 point at 10:30AM.

Why would you be sorry about not shooting a button buck?
