RE: PA HARVEST NUMBERS
I would not send in a card if I did not in the past. I believe that the PGC would increase doe allocations if more people sent in their report cards. Think about it, they would use that as a justification of an increase in kills so we must have a population increase, therefore we better increase the doe tags and make more money on the license sales.
I don't like thinking this way, but I certainly do not want to do anything to increase doe allocations in my unit. I hunt in 4c where it used to be perfect hunting. See 2-10 year per day (12 hours) during archery. This year I saw 1 deer in over 50 hours of archery hunting. Nice 8 pointer that I killed, but what is left for next year.
I think it is a total joke that they say the numbers went down becuase the allocations went down. The numbers went down because no one is seeing any deer.
A CARD MAILED BACK SHOWS AN INCREASE IN THE HERD AND THEREFORE AN INCREASE IN NEXT YEARS TAGS!!!!!
