Good point, Yano... From what I have heard, PA is in bad shape. 1.3 million hunters and thanks to Gary Alt (I think that's his name), the deer are becoming scarce up there.
Thanks for the comments on my very first deer!

Congratulations on your deer Butch. A hunter's first deer is an important milestone.
I have hunted Pa. for over 50 years. In the early years, it was not unusual to hunt all day and not see a deer. Then the population grew to a point that it was almost imposible for a hunterNOT to see deer.
Most of the current flap in Pa. is not about antler restrictions. It is about the slaughter of does to reduce populations.
