I have to agree the DCNR will take over and hunting won't be on their agenda.Rendell and the Philly boys he appointed are no doubt antis.Hunter numbers will start dropping at a higher rate then last year.I justed talked to two hunters that have a camp in southern potter that decided to call it quits.They are surrounded by state forest and after reading the proposal from dcnr to hold a three month rifle season they realize it's a lost cause.
This proves they aren't interested in keeping a balanced herd they want them brought down to the lowest numbers possible or eliminated.It's ashame because so many people are reliant on state forest lands for hunting deer.Soon enough they will get their wish for that three month season.
One thing that sticks out about this is the overlap of bear season.If that was combined with deer there would be so many people buying bear tags that system would have to go to a lottery with many not getting bear tags.Wonder how that would go over.
