RE: whats more important
As for auto/deer accidents here in PA we have more rural roads then any other state in the country.As more and more land is developed and hunting access is lost these accidents will happen.
Most hunters I know want a healthy forest but also have a passion for hunting.
Having said that I don't want the extreme environmentalists controlling policy.The deer herd needed reduction in some areas and still does but on the other hand some big tracts of land have suffered overharvest.Hunters are simply asking for this to be corrected.
An example would be the Tioga state forest where the original goal was 15 DPSM.The flyover produced below 10 yet more DMAPS were handed out.
Not to mention the other areas below this goal where the forestry is asking for a three month rifle season.This to me is extreme and getting away from the original intent of the biologists.
