Default RE: How many PA hunters not going back to NC PA this year

Depends what part of the state we're talking about.Better yet it depends on big tracts of public land compared to private land with limited access.The tusc forest in perry county has alot of area with 5 DPSM.It doesn't matter how many hunters you have there most aren't going to see a tail.Same goes with 10-12 DPSM.Most state land is close to that number so yeah there's going to be quite a few folks seeing few or no deer.It's not realistic to think all the hunters in an area are going to find those tiny pockets holding a few deer.Besides if they did,1-it would be two crowded2-they'd kill the few deer that are left.You can have a million man orange army but if the numbers are below say 15 DPSM sightings are going to be few and far between.How many of them will get shot before others even get that chance to see them?Low numbers are the reason for few sightings.Low hunter numbers now reflect that.It just isn't feesable for a fellow to drive 4 or 5 hours to hunt 5-10 DPSM in say Tioga state forest.
