Here Pa dove season started. Not yet made it out for that since having to find a new farm to hunt due to loosing 2 others. Guess someone decided on one farm to stand in the guys barn doorway because it started to sprinkle along with not picking up his shells..closed now to all dove hunters. said I know where you guys go and never find shells but leave 1 hunt and others follow thinking is open farm..the other had to remove a shotgun shell from a cow..expensive..at least I can still hunt whistle pigs,deer,yotes there..crows starting to react to the calls..another guy had 1 dog taken by yotes and shot yote while fighting with other dog..they eating good on the guys chickens too..been there hunting them but only hear from posted property next to his..can't draw them over so far..sounds like 2 huge packs..replaced a treestand for the daughter..put 2 man so has more room..did however find someone had cut my hoist rope and few other straps on old one..I think know who and I also think he thought that stand belongs to the man down the road that had him in trouble for breaking into his house. The kid just moved back home with his parents..Trail cams will tell later..anyhow, have seen buck, few doe with little ones hangin around..this morning had 6 hens with about a dozen poults with them pickin bugs in yard..go get them bugs..bad news is CWD has moved to just few miles from here..seems midges have spread..they finding dead deer in that area of Pa close to WVa line..maybe frost help but think that way down road and with this storm from the gulf passing as we speak in this area, prob spread the midges x more yet..Wardens say CWD is here to stay in this area..now just need to move some of those damaging pesty chipmonks before they eat more trailer wires or build nest under the car hoods like they like to do..gotta love them critters though..know chipmonks protected but they need a season and find seomething to make with the fur.. they opened 3 of our county parks to blackpowder this year..we were lucky to get them open for archery only and I am not sure it is safe for BP and I hope even though open, nobody dumb enough to go there..first off, too many walk trails and they used very often with horses and dog walkers..most important is the 150 yd safety zone thing..when google earth the parks, I see not one spot in any one of them that you will be legal in...always some place in the park or surrounding houses you will be in violation for..by the way, google earth is a great way to take a look at your hunting area as you never know when someone will plant a house where there never was one...good luck, have a safe hunt....make a memory
