If nothing else gets peoples attention the goal #s set by dcnr should scare the hell out of the P.G.C. If they really think that people will be happier walking through the woods looking for cucumber roots instead of deer they truely are missing it!
The in fighting amongst hunters is doing just what these waco tree huggers want.A divided foe is easier to defeat.These people have a hidden goal of ending hunting , they will not say it but that is their goal . When hunters are proven in effective in killing the rest of the deer & hunter numbers fall to a point that the game commision is not monetairly sound they will have won.
These goal numbers set by dncr may be purposly low as a bargining ploy, but if they are not the future of deer hunting as we know it will be over.
Here in the north west PA most land is privately owned. The land owners will not let this
slaughter to occure on our lands.
As for you hunters in the middle of the state I hope your reps. are behind you in being more realistic in deer numbers.
bawanajin, I don't know how I missed your post before, you hit the nail on the head.
