PA Opener
Anyone heading out tomorrow for the opener? I am pretty excited to go even though I got out last weekend in Ohio. My son is going to a good morning spot tomorrow and I think should have a good chance to score on a buck. I will be about 100 yards from my house in a patch of oaks that are loaded with acorns. Don't expect to see a buck, but I feel like I should get a chance at a doe.

Re: PA Opener
I'll be taking the wife out! Hoping to catch a doe cruising by in the evening on a transition. Not going to far back just yet. Good luck to you!

Re: PA Opener
Good luck! I am always pumped for the opener. Not trying to do anything too fancy I have a spot that is easy access with a lot of does, I like that it's kinda become my opening morning tradition to post up there. It's 50 yards off a main SF road, kind of a crazy little fat chick spot but for doe bedding. So I'll be monitoring Rona traffic vs. normal opener anticipating quite a few road warriors.

Re: PA Opener
Very excited. I'll be in the State forest in a little pinch point where a lot of deer pass through to bed up farther up the mountain. As tempting as it will be I'm probably not going to shoot a doe, too much consistent buck activity in this spot.

Left a small 8 walk this morning. Set now on a trail leading out of a bedding area where I know of 2 good bucks bed. Been getting them on cam just about every day that he comes by.

Re: PA Opener
We didn't do any good this morning. Both of us saw deer. We will be back at it this evening.

Re: PA Opener
Tomorrow is my last day of fall baseball, then I'll be able to start heading to PA on the weekends. Even though I live in WV, I can be to south central PA in less than an hour. If I play my cards right, some days I can get up there after work, instead of having to solely wait until Saturday.
Anything worth doing, is worth over doing.

Re: PA Opener
I had about my best opener ever in PA. I've probably seen bucks spar 5x in my life. I saw it twice yesterday. Small bucks and a bunch of doe in the morning, then a real beauty and smaller buck in the evening. That big buck made to licking branches, one at 60 yards and one at about 30 feet!! It was a great experience. He was in a mowed field at 6:30...worked his way all the way in on the edge. Honestly it was like a YouTube video.

Re: PA Opener
Got out Saturday AM with my son before baseball games. 1st year using climber and 1st year using a compound... a little different than sitting next to me in a buddy stand with a crossbow! Saw a little button buck at 10yds. Worked out great because he got to practice getting situated and a little practice drawing.

Re: PA Opener
I ended up seeing a handful of doe between the morning and evening hunts but not much moving for me. The acorns seem to be very spotty where I am
