alot of land is NOW being posted due to lack of deer. im seeing guys posting "NO DOE HUNTING" signs now...if they ARENT posted signs. i know one guy that sends a letter out to everyone he allows to hunt his land(hes got a huge chunk) reminding them not to shot any does on his property.

thats what its come down to. the hunters and landowners know what is going on in the area and know what they want. PA had an out of whack deer herd in terms of buck to doe ratio..AREAS of the state had too many deer...but they took it tooooo far in most areas IMO. we will see what the future brings.....the PGC needs funds...if i were them id do whatever it takes to make hunters happy...not make them angry...i know lots of guys that quit hunting or are going to quit hunting because of the deer situation. im sure thats going on across the state...license sales are going to drop...weather they admit it or show the TRUE statistics or not we will see....probably an ESTIMATED number...just like how they ESTIMATE how many deer are killed each year. how do they expect to manage a deer herd in a state where they ESTIMATE the number of deer killed EVERY year?!?!?!!? impossible...simply impossible
