Default RE: PA Deer Management is Almost OK

90% of the hunters in Pa do not hunt on public land.80%of the land in Pa is privately owned.You can't tell me that 90% of the hunters are jammed on to 20% of the land.
Doug,

The humorous answer would be....Yeah, but you don't hunt where I hunt.

It may seem, at times, that heavily pressured public land in PA does hold most of the hunters. Percentage-wise I am sure that private land holds significantly more hunters but then you did say that 80% of PA land is private so even if it had twice the hunters the ratio of hunters per acre would still be drastically weighted toward public land....especially if you are comparing land in the southeast section of PA.

Just offering a different perspective.
