Default RE: PA Deer Hunters

I hunt 2F 2D and 2B. I generally take a doe from each of 2D and 2F and take 2-5 in 2B where they are still way overpopulated. (BTW I'm in a suburban deer program in 2B)

2F is showing some effects from HR but forest regeneration is just starting to recover and there are still plenty of deer up there if you just take the time to find em.

To the guys who buy doe tagsand not hunt with em simply to save a doe: you are actually contributing to bigger doe tag allocations by driving the hunter success rate down. A low hunter success rate in a particular WMU leads to even more tags being issued so that the desired kill is reached.
