RE: Why does everyone look down on PA?
I don't know that people look down on Pa but we do have a ton of hunters that have been raised to shoot the first legal buck they see cause if they don't the next guy most certainly will. We consequently kill most of our bucks wearing the first bone they ever grew on their head. Even in the suburban areas like Pgh and Philly , where our big bucks come from, the average age is still very low. If we could just get rid of that mentality that any buck is better than a doe, we could grow some real giants here. The good news is that after just a very short time with Gary Alt at the helm, that mentality is beginning to change a little!
I personally think Pa won't be called Dink land very long!! we can all do our part by letting 1 1/2 year old bucks walk and shootning a doe or two instead. If we all buy in it won't take long before Pa becomes another State to be envied for it's trophies AND for its' healthy deer herd.
