PAWILDMAN,I LIKE WAY YOU TALK. people like us that have seen great hunting,well,this is not it.thats why i cant kill a doe or fawn.hunters that did not see good days,they have no way to understand that killing of all these deer will be end of the good hunting as we knew it.this is why i get so mad at DOUGE,he cant help himself, pgc/dcnr has him brainwashed.douge thinks we should just pick -up and go to ohio or somewhere else to hunt.he is not QUALIFIED to know what our hunting was and tradition ,family,friends that we had hunting in crews and at camp.it is crime to see what this OVERHARVEST OF OUR DOE/FAWNS has done to our heritage and kids coming up.oh well, enough said.glad to see many think like me also,but you have to been there and done that to have view you and others have on here.i wish i could sit ,one/one with hunters that are killing off doe and fawns and tell them how it was and why it happened on our great deer hunting we had.maybe, just maybe they would pass on doe.we can only hope
Well I've been there and done that. At least since 1969. I remember the "good old days" of Pa rifle seasomn when you counted 100 shots before 9AM and there was orange in every direction and you typically saw 50-60 knee high deer bounce around the big woods like pinballs and you scoped em all hoping and praying that one of em had 3" of bone on their head or maybe even, oh my god, a Y sticking up. If you were lucky enough to see a buck you prayed that when you shot, it would fall before running past another hunter and getting shot again and claimed by the next hunter down the ridge.
Yep, those were the "good old days" andI thank god that they will likely never come back.
NO, I NEVER SAW WHAT YOU HAVE..in the early 50,s when i started to hunt, we had a respect for others. we never had problem you had, sorry to hear that.we never shot spikes,never. at times we would get 5 to 6 buck a day,all 4 points up to 10 points.this was with open sights also, no scopes.the bad times you talk about started here in 2g around 1999 when all tags came out.it seemed that meat was driving some,not taking care of deer herd.now,mostly all are sitting in a tree waiting to see a deer. a lot dont know how to track a buck.cant learn sitting in tree.yes, your right but bad times are NOW..
