RE: Another reason to be disgusted with PA
wow just reading the post makes me mad [:@]! i do about 90-95% bowhunting and only 5%-10% gun hunting in pa. You guys are totally right........most hunters just want a deer, any deer. One place we hunt up north, the normal guys that hunt it hadn't got a shot at like anything. They drove a swamp out and killed pretty much a fawn. The guy was screaming and going crazy like he just shot a 10 point or something. He prob got like 25 pounds of meat off of it. But hey he got his deer! They wonder why this year, we hardly saw any deer between the 6 of us. Same guy, two years earlier, I was sitting on a ledge looking at a nice bench and some pines when i look behind me to see a guy slow stalking along the top. He gets about 50 yards past me and hear him shoot. He nailed a doe in the back of the head but it pissed me off cause they were coming right along the bench to me. I think these people need to change as i did. When i was younger, i shot a small button buck just to see if i could hit him on the run. I had already shot a buck and a doe that year so there was no reason for me to even be hunting. Since then, i switched over to almost bowhunting exclusively. I shoot one doe in early-mid bowseason....to take the pressure off of killing a deer......and then hunt mainly for a buck the mid-end part of the season. I would have told the guy to f*ck off that shot your friends deer. Prob not the best way to handle the situation but really the only thing that could be said.
