Don' kill them all, I will be there Fri. Can't wait!
Humm after 2 weeks in Missouri with no other hunters bothering me, sat morning had 3 other hunters walk up on me and my daughters. We were on my 398 acers which is clearley posted. Arrested two of the trespassers and have a good lead on the third.
Hope it gets better, it is a true shame that so many hunters are slobs.......

agreed seems like we get this so much in pa people just have no respect the handful o slobs ruin it for everybody
I hope all you PA guys had some good hunts for the opener. I didn't even get to make it out yet. I spent our opener working on calls all day so I could deliver them in Captin-Hooks stompin grounds on Sunday. One of my customers just sent me a picture this morning of a nice longbeard he harvested with the call he just bought yesterday. :fud: He didn't waste any time with that one!!
Good luck the rest of the season everybody. I'm going to try and get out in the next couple of days.

Worst hunting experience I've ever had in my extensive travels pursuing turkeys.
I've never been to a place where trespassing is so pervasive and culturally accepted. I've never heard so many crappy callers and seen such a bastardized version of turkey hunting.
We were on 600 posted private acres. 5 people came in on my buddy at 5 different set ups (one guy was stalking his decoys by holding a strutter in front of him). Several turkeys on our
property were shot before I could get set-up on them.
It was insanity. It was unsafe. It was lawlessness. The PA hunters in that area are a disgrace to hunting.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience in our state. Believe me that type of turkey hunter is a very small minority here. The vast majority obey our trespass laws and are ethical and legal. There are always a few who make it bad for all the rest as in everything. >:(
saturday was unreal here, we arrived at 4 am to get in about 3 miles in 20,000 acre tract of game lands, shortly after 7 am a guy and 2 kids walked right into our setup, i made my presence known and he said its state land he could hunt wherever he wanted, then shortly after two more guys come into my calls, 16 cars in parking lot when we left, no gobbling of course, today rainy here in 4C and again guy comes walking in to my set up and says hes hunted this spot for 5 years and wanted to see who was here, unreal to me that common decency and respect mean nothing to people anymore, ive taken so many turkeys that this past 2 days is making me not want to hunt anymore this season people need to remember that safety and common courtesy were once what made our hunting heritage great, back in mckean county where i come from people dont do that to each other but here in lebanon county its terrible, and to boot some of the absolute worst calling ive ever heard.

What you described combined with not being able to hunt on Sundays is exactly why I drive clean through my home state to get to NY most weekends for hunting. I did have a good Saturday on Private land with the guys I took out but I won't touch public anymore
its just disheartening, 200 miles away in the very same state, people go to a place and theres a vehicle they keep on driving, down here they just dont care, not to mention with all the slate scraping and box smacking these birds are soo tight lipped its amazing, no such thing as common decency to your fellow sportsmen anymore, then a guy tells me this morning that he hasnt heard a turkey yet, so i pointed to the 8 vehicles parked and all the less than impressive calling and i said thats why, down here in lebanon county its very bad, and of course im new to the area and only land i can hunt is public since i dont know anyone here, its rough really going to consider no hunting around here, sad sad thing
I'm glad I live in the NC part of the state. Not quite as much pressure here with all the public land available.
