RE: Sunday hunting in PA
At least we agree on something. I do believe that the WMUs' are too large.
Especially 2G.
But, the lack of deer in your area is being addressed by cutting back on doe tags. I am very aware of what u are seeing in the woods.(or lack of)
I hunt Moshannon State Forrest quite often and hear the same complaints...in fact, my wife is one of them. During archery season you would think I was in a different place. I see plenty of deer and no other hunters, however in the same spots during rifle season we barely see a deer. They are there. Maybe the food source changed,maybe too many guys in the woods spreading their scent around a couple days before.
Who knows where they went...but in muzzleloader season they seem to reappear again.
I'm not saying that the deer are as abundant as they were. I don't believe they are. But there were too many.
But I am getting way off here.Sunday hunting won't change anything , give the tag reduction a chance to work. It will only take a couple years.
Justthink of how much food will be in your woods w/o all that overbrowsing going on.
