These debates are pointless. What is going to change things is when in the next few years non resident license sales drop off dramatically due to poor hunting conditions. Right now a lot of people in other states are still buying into the lies that the bucks are huge and things are better than ever. I have no doubt people are killing big deer, but when you have to hunt 3 or 4 yrs to kill one it doesn't make sense to hunt here. If I wasn't born and raised here I would not hunt in PA when it's only a few hrs to OH, MD,WV or VA. I just moved back here from VT and I knew a lot of guys that came to PA every year. After not seeing deer two yrs in a row they are looking for other places to hunt. I have two sons one is 14, the other just turned 12. I want them to be interested in hunting and have fun. It's not a whole lot of fun when you hunt hard for a week straight and see two deer. I think this year I'm going to have to take them out of state just to have a good chance at seeing deer and maybe getting a shot at a buck.
