[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1374003, member: 12443"] Well I was for sure not one of those that started the whole thing. Fact is there aren't any left that were. Even the old ones that are left like Frank Weber for example, are about the 3rd generation down as for the hunters. Most of us were totally ignorant as to what was going on a few miles away. Virtually all of the l/r hunters in the Sinnemahoning/Driftwood area decended from the influence of the Kepp brothers, Frank Weber, and a couple others in that group who came to the area due to so many l/r hunters in the Pine creek area. There might be a few claiming otherwise, but fact is they like me came later as well. The period from the mid 70s to the mid 80s saw the biggest growth of l/r hunters in that area. But it had been going on over along Pine creek for several decades prior to that. It has lost a certain amount of popularity recently as the deer numbers have been reduced. But that can be said of hunting in general also. Now, what caused all that to happen? Certainly the hills and the deer had been there so why weren't guys successfully killing them across those valleys? And the answer to that is very simple, they couldn't find them. At least in the type of numbers that made it worth hunting those type locations. You could eventually figure out how to get a bullet there. But you wont kill what you haven found. Take another look at post #31 for a picture of the key that opened the long range lockbox. [/QUOTE]
