You cannot blame hunters for shooting does, fawns, and button bucks. It's not the hunter who sets the policy that allows this kind of slaughter. The people responsible are our Board of commissioners who approve such heavy allocations of antlerless licenses. If they were to hunt public land you can be sure the quota for antlerless licenses would be much smaller,and that's a fact.
And before Dennis foolishly asks what does a Ciommissioner hunting public land have to do with anything, allow me to say that our PGC Executive Director Carl Roe is a U.S. Army retired full bird colonel. He above all should know that a good officer and leader experiences everything that his soldiers are expected to endurein the field. He eats what they eat, he sleeps where they sleep, he wears what they wear. (Unless he's a REMF)That being the case, his Commissioners should be hunting Game lands. If they did hunt Game Lands the Game Lands would be one hell of a sight better than they are.

If you give permission for a hunter to kill adoe, fawn or button buckthe hunter will do just that. That is exactly what our irresponsible Commissioners have done. The blame rests on their shoulders.

The one good thing about the impending DCNR takeover is that Mr. D will probably dismiss a few of the PGC's Commissioners.
