Its official. I made up my mind to hunt in PA this year. My family owns some prime property since the 50s in Bucks county. Yeah... huge houses mostly surround the property... but in PA the safety zone is 50 yards w/a bow. I will be right up near the houses. Licenses go on sale 7/1 via the web.

Also, my parents have a place up in Carbon county...good for bear and (hopefully turkey).

 

[mysticguido]

can I come and hunt there too Drag?

 

[Dragthor]

Up in Carbon county for bear and turkey... sure. I'll probably only do one or two days for bear. The zone is a high bear zone... so hopefully it will be like last year's bear season... it overlaps with buck...so you can shoot a buck or a bear.

P.S. - I'll most likely be using my rifle.

kool thanks Drag, I have a great shooting .54cal smokepole just waiting to take another bear. Might even bring my BOW.

drag, I hunt northampton county, on the border of bucks, Let me tell you, there are BIG deer in Bucks county, and with the antler restrictions, you have a good chance at a 120 cl [no swearing please] or above buck

My family owns property that is like 5 miles away from federal land (ive stopped and check out the signs, that permits hunting) in the bushkill area. Hows the public hunting lands up there anyone know?

Drome - up where? In Carbon county PA? My parents are right near SGL 141 and Hickory Run State Park. Both have more bear than deer it seems.

Drome, that federal land is excellent, I took a buck of there 2 years ago....I usually hunt that property the first week of archery, Its actually state forest land, i guess u it would be federal as well....Anytime you wanna hunt it lt me know, i am up there a few times a year during the archery season

 

[imb21]

That is in Monroe county

 

[drome]

Bushkill, poconos area, they have a house in the pocono ranch lands, tons of deer come up right behind the house but you cant hunt on the pocono ranch lands.

But on the ride up there when we turn off the main road, i always see federal forest signs, and the ranger at the delaware valley park told me its 100% ok to hunt the land. I didnt find this out until january. I may have to hunt the land in beginning of archery season. Just have to figure the regs, dates and go scouting and figure out where to park my car while hunting. Its like a 5 mile walk to the first federal signs, on the two lane road going through the mountain with no shoulders

[imb21]

This sounds dumb, but i have this thing for getting a low number license, so i always get my license the first day they open...I have all my licenses since i been hunting

 

[JerseyJim]

I once got a PA license number 13666! My father said I was nuts to wear that number on my back in the woods!!!! LOL! He's a bit more superstitious then I am....

 

[gypsy]

i live in pa but only hunt nj, would like to hook up with someone to hunt pa. if you don't mind another body, let me know, was thinking of trying this rifle season in the gap area on the federal lands. but would like to find a place away from the crowds.

 

[imb21]

I have plenty of land to hunt, when the time comes around just let me know...i dont hunt state or federal land during rifle season, but i do have alot of private property for both archery and rifle season....
