2B hunting

I believe the gamelands just north of Wexford, PA are still in 2B.  They are located off of Mingo Rd.    There are deer in there, and during archery you may have a good chance to take one.  2B is very difficult to locate a lot of land for the public, and you will have a difficult time this late in the season obtaining permission on prime locations (most landowners that give permission already have and will not allow any more hunters access).  Best advise, you would probably do better to look at 2A for public hunting.  There is a significant amount of land (gamelands, state parks, coal properties, and county parks) and some real giants to be had for the archer willing to do their research and scouting. 

I used to hunt on the Naser farm off route 48, behind the gun club.  I suppose it's technically private property, but no landowner ever stopped me and it was not posted.  I believe the farm is abandoned, at least it looks that way.  All the buildings have collapsed and there are a lot places people illegally dumped trash back there.  Plus, some folks ride quads back there.  I haven't been back there for years, and have no idea what it looks like now.

Red Tag - You stop, ask for a tag - they give it for the season or for the day depending - you hand it back in when you kill one or it ends. That seasons starts in AUGUST!

There are some bigger pieces of woods in 2B that are private but open to the hunting public, do some homework you will find some places to hunt. 

I'll give you one big hint, steep, river hillsides.  There's also a lot of what I would call "institutional land" in Allegheny County that isn't "public" property per se but is also not posted and as a general rule, many people hunt it, especially in archery season and never have a problem.  Google earth is your friend and it is getting late to start but, after scouting out Google earth and locating a few prospects, you'll need to take a ride and check the places out.  Look for some parking spacings and trails where it looks like others have been.  Talk to some nearby residents to see if they know who owns the land or if they know that people hunt there a lot. 
 
I know West Mifflin owns some decent tracks of land that isn't posted and several people hunt it. 
 
Your best bet is still door knocking in some of the more rural parts of 2B dressed nicely with an offering of help/sharing of harvest, whatever to maybe get you in the door.  If you have a 20% success rate, you would be doing outstanding. 
 
Me, I help one guy work on his house when I get the chance and the other, I cut firewood for him every fall on his property after my morning sits.  Others, I just give them some jerky or deer sticks and they seem happy with that.

I hunt 2B alot.
 
there are some real giants lingering between the houses, and if you can find enough area to hunt you can get one.
 
I had a 200lb+ bruiser laying behind my parents house Wednesday night threw the spot light on him just massive.  Biggest deer I have ever seen, just laying in the backyard!  Hes not stupid he must know how to look both ways when crossing the streets and knows where he cant get shot at.  Has to be a 5yr old deer.
 
We have a property we hunt in 2b that is like 40acres.  We have seen alot of bucks out there at times, but none have come into shooting range just as of yet with a bow.  We hunt it alot with slug guns once that season starts..
 
Im just gettin ready to put in for my 2b Doe Tags
