HCK,The PGC would be in financial chaos with or without a large deer herd.The entire country is losing hunters through attrition.Regardless of how many hunters buy a lisence,any business would be struggling if they were forced to charge the same price for nine years without getting an increase.

I'm not asking guys like you to bail the PGC out.Go hunt Ohio and and New yorkand pay their out of state fees.I hunt Ohio and I don't see any more deerthere than I do back home in 2G.Then again,I'm not crying about the poor hunting in 2G.There's less deer but the hunting is as good now as it ever was.It takes a little more effort but that's what hunting is all about.
