Well I didn't see anything today. I went in early around 1230. I went to the other field and it was picked corn as well. Did see two sets of tracks in the field so I set up. We had really high winds today so a few 20+ sustained gusts had me out of the tree in a hurry for safety reasons.

I walked a pretty big loop and didnt see any tracks. I checked all of the fields and they had no sign in the snow Thats been around since Tuesday. I went to a different parking area and went for a walk and found a gut pile and several sets of tracks. The area needs more exploring.

My wife got sick today so I won't be hunting tomorrow so today rounded out a pretty good Pa deer season for me. I will be doing some small game hunting this month along with off season scouting to learn more about the area

well you had a decent season in PA, no buck, but had some good hunts with doe kills and well, good to learn more about your area's and its options,

as for small game, well had a grouse here the past efw days, get them of and on all yr, but man there numbers are low the past 10 yrs, I rememeber when getting your limit here was a short walk and under an hr to limit out, without a dog, and missing about a dozen before you got your limt LOL
just like woodcock, man been yrs since I even seen one here?? a shame. wild pheasants, HAHA< man, back in the 80's and early 90's, had tons of them, then they all got kiled off, and never been any really since but them dumb pen raised one's they let out to be eatin by cats and hit by cars LOL
my dog used to catch them and bring them to me live, so I stopped hunting them in PA, too.

best of luck to you Nomad, always next yrs for that big buck, sooner or later you'll get him!

here is a pic of the grouse here!
