I figured if the GA guys can have their own roll call, why can't we!

I'm from Auburn PA, about 20 minutes northwest of Cabelas.

Anyone else?

20 minutes huh ? I'm jealous.

Quakertown,Pa Bucks Co. 15 minutes from the Delaware River and an hour east of Cabelas. Lots of whitetails here. Tagged a nice 8 pt buck last Wednesday with my recurve bow. 25yd shot, no tracking necessary, he never left the field.

Arch - Congrats on the deer. Sounds like you made a great shot too.

Do the game lands get hit heavy down there? I always see there are tons of doe tags left, but never venture over there because I feel like I'm gonna show up and see an army of orange.


And 98...Isn't Cabelas our state capitol :-)

Tom, what part of Lancaster? I grew up in willow street.

I lived in Bucks County for 15 years. The SGLs get pounded pretty hard during gun season.

5C and 5D have plenty of deer, however the majority of them are on private ground. If you can get in somewhere you should be good to go, however many places are locked up with other hunters or are urban transplants that don't want us gun toting psychopaths from hurting the cute little deer that live in their backyard <facepalm>

Also anything south of the Northampton county line is Special Regs (shotgun only)

Thanks SB, yes the game lands here do get hit pretty hard. I hunt mostly private land. If I do get on the game lands it's usually during the week during spring turkey, if at all.
And yes, Cabelas IS our state capitol.
I'll try to post a pic of my buck if I can figure out the process again.

Any of you guys planning on hunting bear this year?

I hope to get out at least one day for bear. Went last year for the first time ever. Saw nothing at all.
I'll carry a Contender in .45-70 wearing irons. I have an UltraDot for it but probably won't get it mounted this season.
Taurus .44mag with 320gr hardcast as back up.
