Default RE: At least some PA hunters like the program

HR cant go on forever and we may behave arrived at the time where we need to level off the doe kill.
I would think they are doing that already. The reductions we see in the antlerless tags are exactly for that purpose. Some think we should throttle way back on tags to "bring back" the numbers. Allowing the herd to substantially rebound back to the old high numbers of the past is counterproductive to the management of deer in PA. We simply had too many in too many places. Conservative tag reductions will bring numbers up to a healthy and sustainable level, but not the "30 deer a day" numbers that we can never go back to. If we go back to the old way of doing things, we will get the old results. I know I don't wish for that to happen.
