The deer population in the area is well-regulated and jealously guarded by the locals. That said, I have seen deer feeding nearby while we were shooting and spotted fawns casually observing us with big curious eyes.

I hunted Wayne , Monroe and Pike counties a good bit in the early 2000's . Strangely I killed more deer then my buddies from PA . But they all liked sitting out and smoking cigars while they waited . And while these same guys used treestands when we hunted the Eastern Shore of MD they wouldn't use one in the Poconos . But most of those guys hadn't killed two dozen deer in their entire life , where as with the liberal seasons and kill permits we have in VA I've had years that I'd kill close to that many .

The year I lived in Dickson City which is right outside of Scranton I worked with a bunch of guys that hunted Susquehanna County and they had decent seasons but they also had leases in the Binghamton area .

It's a big difference in the Northeast vs most states in the south . You guys maybe have a couple weeks where as we have a couple months . Also our bag limits far exceed what you guys are even remotely used to .

Not uncommon for me to have to chase fawns away from the shooting areas.

Brian, the Hampton Inn and Comfort Inn in Tunkhannock have rates for all of our events. Just tell them you are shooting at Rock Mountain.

John, as the registration form says you can rent carts from Empire. Their contact info is on the registration and our website. All of the Empire cart rentals are done directly with Empire. You reserve with them and pay them directly. THX.

Plenty of misinformation regarding room rates at Hampton Inn and Comfort Inn. Hampton Inn price (regular rate $209) is $119/night and you better reserve soon as the gas guys are coming back in. Comfort Inn regular rate is $179/King. Rock Mt rate is $139. Comfort Inn may not have rooms available as they have arrangements with the gas companies and the end of July they may be full. Shadowbrook Inn and Resort has rooms and they are usually around $100 or less. Skyview Motel has rooms and they are all under $100.

I rented an Empire cart this past weekend and had already reserved one for your shoot several weeks ago . Just wish the darn things had mudder tires on the back
