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.
