RE: PA - Time to STOP the bonus tags
Rob you are correct I did kill several BB on purpose on public land, SGLin 3A mostly that are STILL over population goals of the PGC. Isn't that what the PGC wants less deer??????? Or do you think they only offeranterless tags to kill doe and let bucks munch the habitat so wannabe trophy hunters can have more bucks?????????
Did you read the part of my post that also said I (and family) leave large sections of OUR land open to hunting/unposted? ??? Also a knock on our doors will usually gain someone access to other areas of our lands.
A large portiuon of our lands are surrounded by SGL & SFwhere the hunters flock each year to harvest deer that have fed on our crops. We saw this again this year,hunters griping about lack of deer sightings but joined togetherin deer drives. Sometimes 15-20 hunters on one drive, most drives provided few deer sightings several none but yet every anterless deer that was seen was shot at. Is there any wonder why there are so few deer??? Or why when I want venison for sausage I drive to another area to kill mine???????
As for my killing BB with my bow I explained that...I like the younger venison and in fawns the BB as a general rule are larger. I passed several mature does with fawns and a few with no fawns...that is my option, within the law. Just as it is someone elses option within the law to pass BB and kill a breeding class doe.
Come up to NE WMU 3A ask around for Stolfutz Dairy Farms...we aren't that hard to find. Knock on the door I'll be home for a few more weeks tending to my child whom is in recovery from surgery. EC

On second thought Rob your apparentdislike over my killing BB (which is really non of your business),apparent jealousy over my havinggood private ground to hunt,yourattitude that bowhunters are much better hunters and deserve a month long season without any intrusions have me thinking I won't grant access to our lands tosomeone with that attitudeso don't bother to knock on our doors.EC
