We made it up to P.A. for my semi-annual muzzleloader trip, wife freaks out if I go every year. Anyway long drive once again 19.5 hrs. Very nice weather with snow greeting us the friday we came in. Sat. buddy kills one yearling 80-90 lbs. meat. No hunting on sunday, P.A. law, buddies brother surprises me and brings us to the steeler game, very good time except for the $7.00 beer. Monday morning temps around 25 deg. frost and some mixed fog. Shoot another nice yearling, two down. Later that afternoon we were invited to hunt right off of a golf driving range. More deer sign than I have ever seen, BAM one more down, a nice fat 140lb doe. Buddy watches one until dark, too far. He has one more to take so it's back to the range, BAM, another big fat doe. The food up there is unbelievable acorns everywhere, clover and green grass abundant, beans and corn planted everywhere, no wonder they can take on such a herd. TALLY, 2 yearlings, 2 big old fat does, 3 pheasants, 6 bottles of P.A. premium wine, 2 frozen wild turks killed by his brother, 5 more frozen pheasants plucked and wrapped. We deboned everything up there and froze it in 2 gal. bags, made the trip back alittle easier. One last thing, the scenery up there is great, with rolling hills with dairy cows grazing,to the big canadian geese feeding in the grain fields, I cannot wait until next trip. BTW we also ended up with 20 very nice walleye fillets from the allegney river. Hauled 250 lbs of fresh caught 21-25 white shrimp which were gone in mere hrs. Brought up for friends and friends of friends, did not make a penny, nor did we intend to.
