Mr. patrkyhntr. Iunderstand where you are coming from but don't you see a problem with the numbers you posted. They arean estimate and nothing more than that. Theyhonestly don't know how many deer are in the state and how many deer have been harvested. I really don't see how theycan implement a deer managementprogram withoutknowing this information. And they continue to say that next year we will have the same seasons. WTF!!!!!
Actually, sir, I do see a problem. It is that those who call themselves sportsmen in this state are too lazy to send in a postage free postcard and report their kills. Only forty percent of us send them in. This is inexcusable. And you have the gall to blame the Pa. Game Commission because their numbers aren't accurate? Give me a break, fella.
If you think those figures are not accurate, perhaps you can give me a source for some more accurate ones? Until "sportsmen" in this state begin to see that they are the problem and send in report cards on harvests we will have to base deer management on the estimates. If you have a better idea, show up in Harrisburg with it.
