RE: Pa Opening Day
PA,
I found a 6 point that was gone waste form a arrow wound, somebody didn't know how to track well enough....this one killed just 2 days prior to gun season. (Ours opened on the 15th Nov.)
So far this gun season I've not found any deer wasted, though I have in past seasons a few times.
There's to many in both groups willing to take shots that shouldn't be taken.
Heard a guy complaining about his luck in a local resturant a few days ago. Seems he stuck 2 during early bow.....but both got away.....then mentioned he'd taken a shot that morning @ 200+yds.....with his Rem. and Brenneke SLUGS........
Ruined my lunch.
I think there is something to be said for a shooting skills test prior to being allowed to hunt ANYTHING with ANY weapon. Still not a sure thing what such a qualified individual will do when excited with a deer or any other game in front of them.....but couldn't hurt.
Hope you guys have a good year in PA.
