interesting...i didnt look at them all..but the area i hunt(1A) has seen a major decrease in sales. thats what a week diffrence in time almost..which means alot when we talk antlerless sales and last year was higher a week earlier in time. ill continue to doe hunt there because i still know spots that have a big healty population.

might mite. eveeeryone would like to see doe seasons changed and the population back up etc. but the PGC wants the herd lowered ACROSS the state. between human/deer conflicts and deer eating themselves out of a home etc it needed to be done. and our buck herd was pretty sad before. i see less deer then before. but its nice to see antlers now!! buck numbers seem to be way up IMO. when we get the herd where they want it they will relieve numbers enough to KEEP them stable and where they want them. hunters complain....but dont see that there is an actual plan, and it is being followed..and carried out by hunters. im kinda excited to see what the future has in store for PA. i miss the days of seein 20-30 deer a day easy, but i do like seeing more bucks. weve always had good genes..just never gave many a time to grow big racks. i think we just may become one of the known hotspots in the future. also gota change hunting tactics a bit. gota find the new deer hideouts and hunt them diffrently. i used to think you could sit dang near ANYWHERE in the woods and see atleast a deer on the rifle opener. now you have to hunt a little harder and smarter...not saying you dont..but PA hunters in general. i still see the sammmme guys sitting the same stumps and stands every year. they are the ones that cry the hardest. the other guys that chap my @$$ are the guys that complain there are no deer, then they shoot the only doe/yearling/button buck they see. ill continue to take a doe here and there. but if that was the only deer i seen all season i wouldnt kill it. and i wont cry theres no deer. there must be deer if im seeing and killing does.
