It is funny to see these guys that have absolute faith in the PGC.

Everyone knows that the habitat in the NC part of the state is in bad shape. Everyone knows that it is that way now because of the deer populationbeing out of control in the 70's and 80's. The deer overbrowsed their habitat until the point that it can no longer support those great numbers of deer any more.


Now ask yourself how the NC area of PA got in such bad shape under the watchful eye of the PGC. The PGC was paid, by PA hunters, to properly manage game populations. While they sat back and only allowed one deer per year to be harvested, in the 70's and 80's, that habitat was totally wrecked.

You'd think that these experts, the PGC, would have done something about the overpopulation, way back when and prevented the problems we have today.

I call that mismanagement.

The PGC is to blame for the problem today, by not keeping deer populations in check with the land's carrying capacity. That is there job. They are the so called experts.

PA had the hunters willing to do what was needed, but the PGC held all the cards. They did it their way and now look where we are at.

Way back when Gary Alt wanted to drastically reduceantlerless numbers across the state and impose antler restrictions, many hunters voiced their concern. Many warned that there may be a backlash.

The backlash is here.
