Deer hunting in Pennsylvania is unlike deer hunting anywhere else in the United States.  The deer here are wilder and are pressured a lot more than other states by the states 1 million deer hunters, which is more than any other state in the U.S.  It takes an expert woodsman to be able to consistently take a buck year after year, regardless of antler size.  In many other states hunters can afford to be choosy when looking for a deer to take.  In Pennsylvania its a good chance that the first buck you see could be your only buck, even if its only a spike.  That's why bucks in Pennsylvania tend to have smaller antlers than deer in other states.  This web site will give you information on the seasons and equipment plus different techniques used.
