I'll be tent camping in Pennsylvania mountains for next 4 days. Nice remote location in state Forest lands. PA has an "olde Fart" season 65+ (I can squeak into that class LOL). so, I got a WT doe license. Reality is I will shoot nothing; as I'm by myself and can't drag a deer more than 50 yards (on level or slightly sloping downhill). But choice of rifle is still important to me... 300 RUM and 30 Herret LOL ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |

He's back. didn't shoot anything. tented alone in mountains, very beautiful fall leaves and a few small waterfalls. weather was very december...night 34 oF and days at 75 oF. rained two nights. tent worked well, canvas had no leaks. Only had one wake-up scream as something was killing a fawn (no barks or howls, maybe a Fisher or bear. Saw 3 cow elk, one black bear, one eagle, two large bull elk (about 100 yards from my tent). Nine whitetails, one 4 point buck (illegal); he just stood there looking at e from 15 yards. Fished one mid-afternoon, flies just s few perch. A great time, already looking forward to next year mountain deerhunt/camp out. Lost 4 pounds, dry food must be less calories! ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |

Sounds like another great trip Bear. Maybe I'm getting old but getting out is the most important thing to me. It's a bonus if I kill something. ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |

Yep, wing and the tent camping adds a lot. Next year I'll take a canoe with me to mountains. ------------- “ The IQ and the life expectancy of the average American recently passed each other in opposite directions.” |
