I have been hunting PA for over 32 years. I have NOT been an overly successful deer slayer, in fact I know I have not taken more than 5 deer total. I have always hunted a place near Mcveytown on what used to be a farm that my dad and uncle bought back when I was 13. Anyway, my uncle was killed on that farm in 1981, about a year after they bought the farm. My dad worked two shifts 11-7 then he lanscaped from 8-5 most of his life. Retiring in 1998, he died from complications (infection) 3 days after open heart surgery, in 1999. It takes me about 1:45 to get to my hunting spot, and the deer there are few and far between. I am looking for a new place to hunt. Now, I have an auto immune disorder that prevents me from walking too far (and I always physically pay for ANY time afield due to the disorder). I want to know how to begin to do this new search. I live in Middleburg, about an hour due north of Harrisburg. I am looking to find a spot where there are some deer. I have a 14 year old daughter that I want to take hunting and I want to get her someplace where the deer are. I am NOT asking for a handout. I don't want to know your favorite spot. As I mentioned earlier, I have NOT EVER come close to to put a hurting on the PA deer herd. How do I go about beginning to find a new place??? I have been hunting the same place (basically) since I have began hunting. I would appreciate any advice or help you could offer. I am lost without dad aound, and not being in the best health has put a hinderence on my daughter as well. I will be graduating from Bible college this month (I have been blest to get help in affording to be trained in a new career, since my health has failed and I was unable to work in my old career).
If you are able to offer advice, it would be very much appreciated.
God bless, Brad
