I'm thinking of purchasing land/cabin near Sproul state forest and wanted to see if anyone here has any recent experience with the deer and turkey populations in the area. Cabin will be used as both a family recreation location and deer camp.

I've heard the deer population is down compared to mid 2000's. I've looked at the PA Game commission website and see the decline both in kills and antler less licenses.

Appreciate anyone's input on Sproul or other locations in this general area. I'm north of Philly and trying to keep my drive to under 3.5 hours which is why I'm looking at the Susquehanna area.

Thanks.
