Live from the Stand - 2025

Today is the season opener for PA special regulations areas, an area about a tenth of the state. I'm in the stand in Chester County 35 miles west of Philadelphia in 75 degree heat at 4:30 pm watching some acorn bearing oaks and 2 pear trees on my right, there's a standing cornfield a quarter mile away on my left on a neighboring property. A buzzard is helping me keep watch, he's expecting a big gutpile.

Good luck. I'm taking off hunting for a few days because my target buck has disappeared. Others still coming in, but I'm only interested in him.

I've had that happen and pulling off for a week or two can work wonders. Let the other hunters pressure him back to your place.

I’ve been hunting since August 15, but nothing interesting to report. I’ve taken my 3 year old son a few times.

No huge bucks on camera this year. I’ll shoot an old buck and some does and enjoy teaching the next generation.
