Default RE: Could it be that overhunting is not the problem in PA?

the hunters here in pa.are the real predator. with lack of deer ,still most want or have killed a doe this year.last 3 years here in 2g was terrible.massive doe and fawn killing. tons of tags for doe,early muzzleloader season, 2 weeks of doe in regular rifle season. now no deer. fawns are being shot, coyotes are killing fawns and early muzzlwloader season is taking doethat are not bred or are bred.thats fawns for next year.i did not see 1fawn from sept to now,not 1. no doubt the coyotes are taking toll on deer,i saw 5 coyotes last week of muzzleloader.i saw deer hair in the poo and found deer hair but no deer. coyotes clean up deer real good. i have never seen so many coyotes in last 3 years than i ever did in 50 years hunting,never. tracks are all over. it is hard for me to believe they migrated in to pa. all of sudden they were here in great numbers. state of pa. wants deer all gone, they are close to getting their way here in wmu2g, take care
