BT not hard to tell which group you fall into is it? Your arrogance belies you, what gives you the right to "assume" other hunters aren't as adept as you at finding new hunting areas?
The questioning of the PGC's management isn't about AR it is about not manageing the deer herd in general correctly. The PGC's spokesman got his viewpoint to be accpeted by a minority of Pa sportsman. Mainly the type of hunter whom watches too much Outdoor Life channeltv, onmidwest whitetail hunts.What he failed to get questioned on is why protect a male deer for just 1 more year? Anyone in the know realizes that it takes a min. of 4.5 yrs to produce bucks of a harvest age in a well managed herd.
I liken the PGC's deer management to the Iraq war strategy...neither had a good withdrawl plan in place before they forged ahead. deer numbers have been reduced in nearly all parts of the state...BUT THE PGC DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN TO GET OUT OF THE ANTERLESS HARVESTS AT THE RATE THEY PUT IN PLACE!! other than to make token WMU wide tag allotment reductions.
