Default RE: Nursery will open for Bow Hunters

Poachers aside, it kind of sounds like a semi organized free for all.

I don't know the exact numbers, but it sounded like there would be quite a few hunters allowed per day.

If he wants deer numbers reduced, I think this will work, however I think the place will literally get pounded. With new hunters in every day, there will be no way to tell how many days a particular area has been hunted, or if the guy before you walked out of Taco Bell and right to his stand site.

I am also not a big fan of the "if it crosses the property line, just shoot another one" concept. In fact, as far as I can tell, it is aganst the PA state regulations

"Recovering Dead or Injured Wildlife: It is unlawful for a hunter to refuse or neglect to make a reasonable effort to retrieve any killed or injured game or wildlife. Hunters attempting to recover wildlife are not permitted to enter private property without permission. A hunting license does not give you the right to trespass on private property."

I realize that they don't want to upset their neighbors, however it does not alleviate the hunters' responsibility from obeying the law.
