Hunting the PA Flintlock season

Buff1958 · Dec 12, 2024

I booked a hunt for the late PA Flintlock season. I will be hunting out of Equinunk PA right up on the NY state line.

I am not really expecting a trophy buck. Coming up from TX and I just want to hunt in the snow and hoping to see a lot of deer.

What should I expect in that part of the state?

Either snow or rain be prepared for either.

I was just up that way a few weeks ago to do some fly fishing and there were a LOT of deer in the area. No idea where you'll be hunting, private, state land, etc., but I'd anticipate a decent hunt in that part of the state.

I had access to a hunting camp just across the line in New York for a few years. Took alot of deer most of the bucks where big body smallish racks. January in that part of the world expect snow. Even during regular season 2 ft of snow was possible

I hope for snow. Being from Texas we rarely get any and if we do it is just a couple of inches

Dress for bad weather. Don't be afraid to go out in bad weather. Deer tend to be at a slight disadvantage if it's storming , windy , snowing. Nicer weather makes "still hunting" more difficult. Still hunting in snow , is when you follow deer until you catch up , and then may get a shot. And by all means , use a flint lock cover to keep priming dry.. LOL to ya.
