I'm from PA also. I hardly hunted deer at all this year due to lack of deer. I used to live for bow season and now I've just lost interest. If you don't have private ground to hunt, it's pretty poor hunting. I haven't shot a doe in 21 years and don't plan to for the next 21.
I agree that upstate I don't think the deer can come back due to predation.
It's sad how good this state was and what it is today. If there were 2 deer left in the whole state, there would be 50,000 hunters trying to get them both!!
