Ohh my......
180 acres ,holds around 7 deer
So you're saying you have a deer density of 25 deer per square mile? That's much higher than most of the state.
Sounds like you're not seeing the forest through the trees. SE PA, where land access is limited and deer numbers are high there is damage.
I dont give a rip what anyone says I know my area and it stinks anymore
Is this the same area you are observing from your porch and the drivers seat of your car?
There is no reason any hunter should have to always be forced to find different areas to hunt miles away from their home.
Doesn't sound like "hunting" if we are suppose to bring the deer to the hunter and not the hunter to the deer.
Deer will repopulate fast if we give them a chance.
And we will right back to where all the problems started from..... again.
About 3000 every winter feeding and food plots
Sounds like money out the window for deer you say are not there.
At least lets get some people that actually hunt on the board
I do believe every one of the Commissioners hunts. Ever attend a Commissioner's meeting? Ever talk with the Commissioners? I have.
want healthy deer and more of them.
Restore the habitat and the deer will follow.
And there is no reason on earth I should have to be forced drive 400 miles to hunt when the ara I live could hold lots of deer.
400 miles puts you half way between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. Alot of good hunting much closer to home.
Why kill off the deer to match the habitate ,when we could matxh the habitaTE TO THE DEER ???
lol, this is just plain funny. We all know that you cannot grow habitat overnight. Reduce the numbers, let the habitat come back, allow deer numbers to increase in line with thegrowing habitat.
YOU HAVE THAT MANY DEER WHEN CAN I COME OUT AND TAKE 1,JUST ONE OFF YOUR PORCH ??
Hunt with the big dogs.... get off the porch.
sold part of your land for a sub division ,then your part of the problem in my opinion.
Difficult to make a living off of farming with deer cutting into your crops. Difficult to make a living even with out the deer. Land prices are booming. 160 acre farm I have hunted sold for 6.5 million. Makes for a nice retirement or payment on another farm in another area/state.
When i move from this state I will leave behind open property.Will not sell it for building
Taxes will kill you as the property value keeps going up.
I will put it in the greenpeace program.
Ummm, yeah. The same people that intercept whaling ships?? Radical animal rights group?Eco-terrorism??
