Keystone State Thread

Snow here but not piling up. Roads are just wet.

 

Northern Berks County

 

That has to be way higher.

 

36 and rain in NE Philly, but in my infinite wisdom I made a deal to drive up to Scranton after work today to buy some wheels/tires, so I might see snow after all.

 

Never fails they reduce the speed limits to 45mph.

I think maybe they are on to something so I look out at 0300 a little ice keep looking out every hour not much change a few snow flakes.

When they call off school the township waits to late afternoon to venture out !

 

Several School Districts in Bucks are closed today

 

I picked this spot out on a map and hunted it Saturday without scouting it. Worked out well. 10 point, 18 inside spread. I've been hunting the Allegheny National Forest for almost 10 years now about 5 days a year. I've spent many years without seeing deer. It is nice to finally see those efforts and time were not wasted, but an education or just dumb luck. 1.17 miles back in the woods, so it was about 4 hours total to get him and my gear out of the woods. It was worth every bit of the work though, I have never been so proud of a hunt.

Nice Buck(Rack) Mike. Last time I said nice rack, the woman behind me smacked me thinking I was talking about her.

Great job! Can't tell you how many times I've scouted and came up empty lol. ANF is a great place. Enjoy the meat and thank you Mr. Deer

 

I've shared similar experiences. In the 9 years i've been hunting up there this is the 3rd buck I've gotten. The others weren't near as nice. I've found 2 spots that are pretty remote and funnel movement. It is just a lot of work when things line up. I love it up there, great views, hunting, fishing, even a few rattlesnakes.

 

milk, eggs n bread mafia

 

If you think yours is crazy, then you should see mine.

 

And most importantly Toilet Paper...

 

That must be a city people thing having no more then 48 hours worth of food.

So when bad weather is expected you fear your going to starve ??

Rush off to the Quicky Mart to buy a whole bunch of other goodies you can`t live without .

 

I grew up in the city and remember buying bread and milk. Granted the corner store was within walking distance.But we we snowed in for like 2 days max.I this day and age with constant salt and plowing and the extra food kept in the house now a days,its crazy that people still do this.

I was just discussing a similar subject with a co worker.
Throwing/blowing snow into the street from your driveway/sidewalk.
When i was a kid we did not get our streets plowed so throwing in the street was so cars could run it over to get rid of it.
Now as an adult and snow plow operator it drives me nuts when people blow/shovel their snow into the street when you have a yard to blow/shovel it in to. Anyone have any thoughts on this.
