That would be a great grouse gun Rich, I dont remember that one. Yeah, it may be green and warm on the opener, but hopefully a nice morning and evening hunt will be possible.

It was the first graded Parker I ever owned. I call it my "meat gun":rotf:

It is not nice to tease the elderly Harold.

Beautiful gun.

Dean, we were setting up new ladder stands and moving others today and we got into grouse on the side hill above the short course!! It’s a sign!!

I’ve not pursued deer in PA in over ten years . And my friends that are left in Wayne , Pike and Monroe counties have been claiming for ten years that deer numbers are way down . Has that been your feeling as well ? You’re in Susquehanna county correct ?

Craig, we have more than enough deer, buck and doe. They will eat everything if you don’t control their population. We typically take three buck and 11 doe off the property every year. Taking the 5-7 minute drive into Springville it’s nothing to see 40 deer or more depending on the time of day.

They tend to disappear when you get in a stand with a rifle

Some of the Pa crew have been complaining about no Deer for years..Rare that I don't see 15 plus a day. One day a couple years ago before a big storm hit I saw in the low 40's. No Buck that I wanted to shoot.

Bigger Bucks are being killed in Pa than at any time in the previous 50 plus years. Yet the story stays the same...No Deer. If one lives anywhere close to farm country, the Deer are there.

I have hunted deer in Pa but never with a small bore Parker:rotf:
