Title: A little success in the PA mountains!
Post by: Tim on November 04, 2009, 06:32:00 PM
Hey Folks,

I spent the past few days hunting in the mountains of Lycoming PA.  My buddy has a beautiful log home on the very top of a mountain.  It doesn't get much pressure and we usually have some luck.  This year I was fortunate to have the luck the first morning on stand. What makes this deer even more special is that he showed up on one of my buddies game cameras back in September.  I'm not a big game camera fan   :confused:  but I will admit it's pretty cool seeing him on the hoof.

Hope you folks are having some luck....enjoy the photos.

Tim

Nice one Tim. I really like that monochromatic photo with the mountains in the background..I think that's called a "sepia" photo.

Sweet.  The bucks are starting to get more impressive with the antler restrictions they put in place about five years ago.  Nice going.  And that's a great photo....not sitting way behind it to make it look bigger 8^).

Tim,

You ole stinker. That is a great buck! After T.Jr. busted that big ole sucker a few back, I thought maybe you were sold only on does!  :)

Congrats. Bet is was sweet to be sharing it with a bud on a mountain top like that...

As they say..first sit in a new, well-placed stand is deadly!

Congrats, Mon! Be well.

Good for you!!!!

I grew up in PA and we used to go to a cabin up in Lycoming county near Waterville up above Pine Creek.  Some of my favorite childhood memories.

Sure don't remember ever seeing any bucks like that around up there!  Lots of does and once in a while a smallish buck.  Used to be a browze line through the woods about eye level.

ALL of your pictures are very nice but the third one puzzled me at first.  Looks like you're on the beach in Hawaii with a big ol' breaker wave behind you.

Thanks guys for all your "that a boys"!

The third photo is pretty cool.  Actually the direct lighting caused the back ground to look like ocean waves.  The back ground is nothing more than rolling mountains.  We are up on the very top of a mountain that overlooks miles.  The look of waves is the morning clouds!

Take care and good luck...plenty of season left!
