I can't stand a guy like you either that constantly spreads mistruths and has no facts to back them up.I definately hunt with the intent on killing something.That's a primary purpose for being out there and that's why they call it hunting.I don't kill fawns by the way.I will continue to kill a buck every year and I'll continue to harvest does where there's plenty of them or where the regneration isn't where it should be.If i knew of an area where there where no deer and the habitat was still good,I wouldn't shoot a doe there.So far,I haven't found a place like that.It boggles my mind that people continue to hunt where they say there's no deer.I'm not complaining about a lack of deer so why should I not shoot any?If other hunters don't have the skills or the ambition to actually find where the deer are,why should that dictate how I hunt?

The future for our kids is at stake because of people like you.People that refuse to look at the facts and learn to understand why herd reductions where necessary.Without good habitat,the future of hunting is definately at stake.Every time I kill a deer,I know I'm helping out the local situationand I feel no guilt pulling the trigger.Remember Sproulman,I'm not the one crying about no deer.I see plenty of deerfrom I80 all the way north to Sinnemahonin and al the way to Wyoming county.

The people that are crying about no deer and spreading stupid conspiracy theories about the PGC are the one's hurting the future of hunting.The guys writing their democratic legislatures are hurting the future of hunting.The ill-informed legislatures that refuse to grant a fee increase to the PGC are hurting the future of hunting.The guys telling their kids how bad the hunting compared to 20 years ago are hurting the future of hunting.The guys trying to sue the PGC are hurting the future of hunting.I have an 8 year old daughter that goes in the woods with me all the time.She helps me find stand sites and hang stands.She helps mescout for new areas to hunt and to hang trail cameras.She can spot preffered deer food and good habitat better than most adults that have been hunting all their lives.She knows what a browseline looks like and she knows the best place to sit on opening day isn't where you can see for hundreds of yards.I don't know if she's gonna hunt or not but she'll know what it takes if you expect to successful.She also understands why it's important to hunt and balance the herd with the habitat.These are all basic things that all the whining,crying, self centered hunters who are constantly complaining about the PGC don't understand.There's an old saying,you can't teach what you don't know and you can't lead where you won't go.If hunters don't understand the basic principles of deer and habitat management,how are they going to instill that into their kids.You're correct that the future of hunting istrouble.Instead of teaching kids to be good stewarts of the land,guys like you do nothing but complain and bash the very agency that'sresponsible for managing all of this states wildife.You,the USP and the state's best sportsman,Mr Slinsky all make me sick.
