Hi Folks, still deerless in the Poconos. Seeing a lot of deer but have not had a legal on come into range yet. They don’t quite have to be sitting in my lap, but it helps. I’ve see a couple nice bucks, a couple spikes, a couple red foxes and last night a good sized bear came by at dark. There’s rain now and the temps will drop again tomorrow evening, so I’m figuring that’ll be a good time to be ready.
This year we get our first Sunday to hunt archery. Next year, we won’t have to mail in those beloved pink envelopes for antlerless tags. I have to say, I’m gonna miss it. Been doing that for 53 years. I’ll miss the excitement that goes along with it. Now it’ll be another cyber effort. What the heck, it’ll probably make getting a tag easier for some who have struggled and who can argue against that. I seldom fill all my tags anyway. My cousins used to hunt on the other side of the state, so they’d saddle up to put their pink envelopes in the Brookville post office box Sunday night before the Monday sale of a limited amount of tags. That was about an 8-10 hour round trip for them to make sure they got a tag. Oh yes, the good ol days. best, dwc
