I participated as a guide this past Saturday in PA for a Youth hunt for children of Military Members. 12 kids, 4 buck taken. All had fun.

Very nice, Red! I'm sure you have some stories.
They all look like nice bucks, but that first one really stands out.

That's great, you helping out the kids. Looks like they had a great time and I know you did too.

redlaw · January 06, 2014, 05:04:09 PM

The hunt took place about 10 miles outside of Harrisburg.

Very cool, and Kudos to you for taking the time to mentor those kids.

Thats a nice little haul of venison right there.

hmmm that'd have to be around Stoney Creek valley or Indiantown gap, nowhere else I can think of that would have that many deer this late in the season...

Good for you, and for the kids! Those are some dandy bucks.

Dave- The Gap has hunts also, for adults if I recall. This hunt was held on New Cumberland Army Depot. Never heard of Stoney Creek

Me sis is a Harrisburger!

Dale · January 08, 2014, 09:08:00 PM

ok... forgot about New Cumberland depot... used to be a bunch of deer in there, they thinned them out a few years back, the herd has recovered nicely... Stony Creek runs into the river up above Dauphin, runs out the valley past Indiantown Gap... not sure who's hunting the Gap... wondering if Letterkenny is being hunted anymore... used to be some good deer in there also...

Nasty, I'm originally from York and drove truck for 30 years, am well acquainted through out the country...

matter of fact I'm gonna make a trip up in a couple weeks... just to see how the eskimo's live...

Is thar any fox squirrels near Harrisburg?
I need to bag me one of them monsters! Last time I was in Harrisburg I went to the York barbell factory,life long powerlifter,and museum, then to the Hersheys factory, and Gettysburg, it was really amazing. As a vet,I stood at Gettysburg and tried to picture what it must have been like. My friend from England who is former Royal Marine was with me when I toured Gettysburg, it was a pretty sobering day for us.

redlaw,

Sorry that I missed commenting on your great work helping with the hunt. Looks like some decent deer and I am sure that the shooters were excited.

like Ben said stay near the water...

York Barbell, the weight lifter on the roof is known world over, I've met people all around the country and in Europe that have traveled I-83 and that's how they remember York...

Gettysburg can be a very humbling experience, did you see the arty shell stuck in the front of the building on US30 just east of the square?... been in there since the war...

nastygunz · January 09, 2014, 05:31:54 PM

I have to get down there, she has been bugging me to go down and see everyone. Then of course I'm going to slip away and try to do some hunting or fishing. Can you hunt on Sundays down there? I don't know if I can come down out of the mountains back into civilization like that ha ha.

Dave · January 09, 2014, 05:50:50 PM

No Sunday hunting in PA.
You can hunt coyote and fox on Sundays, though.
