Title: Hunter from pa here looking to get in the woods for the first time
Post by: umpire72 on July 31, 2017, 12:28:25 AM: I moved to puyallup last year and want to get in the woods. Would anyone near me let me know where my best chances are at seeing any deer? I'm willing to trade some great hunting in pa or florida on some great hog/dear hunts! So, I'm looking for a partner to show me some ropes out here. 8)

Post by: HighlandLofts on August 05, 2017, 09:27:20 AM: I go back to New York to hunt deer with the kids, we occasionally buy Pennsylvania hunting licenses and hunt in Susquahanna and Bradford County for deer. Plenty of deer there compared to this part of the Country. I'll be going back this November to visit family and go deer hunting.

If you want to go north a little ways I can show you a few places to go. I'm in Arlington.

Post by: hal on September 11, 2017, 08:30:41 AM: We have a camp near Chesaw. I am a PA hunter, born and raised. We still have a deer camp(35 years) in Center cty of PA in a town called Orviston. Its called the "Hole in the Wall". I fly back to hunt the day after Thanksgiving. The deer are getting bigger with the 3 point rule but we see less. Also, only half the hunters. The youngsters don't care anymore.
