I'm not in SW PA, I'm in Chester County, Lancaster County and Huntingdon County.
I always enjoyed archery but that being said, the weapon in hand that particular day and season isn't as important to me as some other things. I enjoy deer management, the thrill of the chase, and being with the gang, so good equipment is important, but not the end to all things, but rather, a means to the more important things.
Me either, on the vertical bow. Had to go to a x-bow a few years ago due to a bad back + shoulder issues. Better than not going!
I always have enjoyed trying to read the signs in a piece of terrain, piecing together when a buck travels there, where he might be bedding, his preferred travel routes, food sources, etc. I learned a lot from reading books by the Wensel brothers about reading / interpreting sign. Their advice put me onto some stand locations that allowed me to take some nice bucks in archery season over the years. I've always enjoyed rifle season, too - probably more when I was younger and aches & pains didn't bother me as much in the cold!!! Golden years = rusty years.
I bought one, sold it, then bought another
I’ll hunt with it some this fall, but I’m gonna do a good bit of handgun hunting too. I used to hunt with a handgun quite often and since I have plenty of time, and don’t really care if I ever mount another buck, I’m gonna give it a whirl again. I like shooting handguns anyway, rifle shooting is boring to me. Once I have it sighted in I’m done until something live gets in front of me. Deer, hogs, or coyotes are all targets. You can lay a rifle down for years and pick it back up on demand. Handgun shooting is a perishable skill, you need to shoot often, especially the bigger bores.
