RE: Remember PA Guys......
I grew up in Wyoming county.That area is all private except SGL 57.I have a brother that lives in the southern half of 3C.I'm not saying there aren't areas with low deer numbers in those areas but there's way too many in the areas where I hunt.I have no issues killing several deer there if I can get tags.
I live in 2G where it's almost all public land.Once again,some areas have few deer and some areas have plenty.I have no issues shooting adoe anywhere in this part of 2G.In some areas the habitat is so bad,more deer still need to be killed even though there's few there.If you do your homework and find areas with better food and cover,you'll find plenty of deer.I didn't send in for a 2G tag this year because they slashed the allocations from 58000 two years ago to 19000 this year.I did get a few dmap tags and I plan on using every one of them with absolutely no guilt what so ever.
Livbucksthere's nothing wrong with using discretion.I wouldn't kill a doe in an area that few deer and good habitat.I will continue to shoot them in areas where the habitat is poor because that's what needs to be done.When the habitat is as stressed as it is many areas around here,it takes very few deer to continue to do damage.
