RE: PA hunters or whiners?
A good deal of PA hunters are rifle only and get a few days to hunt. There has beena long deep rooted tradition in this state of putting such a HUGE emphasis on getting a buck ANY buck. That's all people become obsessed with or care about.A guy could have killed 2 dozen spikes in his lifetime and the second he catches a glimpse of bone on #25 he's shooting. That's just how tradition is here. So take that, coupled with many guys being spoiled by seeing dozens of deer every time out....then fast forward to having to exhibit a hint of self control and seeing a few less(or alot less in some places) deer and you geta huge outcry.
Things could even be better if you asked me, there are still a lot of people who shoot and count points later on. I know my areas well and for the amount of sub-legal bucks there are, there should be a lot more nicer ones the following years. There ain't that many kids around to shoot them all.
