Default RE: deer numbers in PA

i have bar of IRISH SPRINGfor you.

wildman,you hit a nasty point with me, gives me chance to get more info out.

lets talk about after the doe are all killed out of area like you saidand you move to another area to kill doe there.

THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING ..[:@]

now, ole sproul saves a mother and fawn, in comes hunter from area he wiped out doe.
now he is in area i grew up in and takes and shoots the 2 doe that are left.[:@]

THEN he gets in his truck and moves to another area..

this is what the PGC/DCNR wants you to do.

this is why they started the WMU,S that we have now..

we would save our doe and have deer each year, they did this WMU thing, now we have hunters coming in that dont care about IF there is doe left for next year.

they dont feed deer,dont belong to local sportsman clubs, i know, i ask them.they dont care.[:@]

many of us like to hunt close to home, we dont want to be driving all over stateBUT these others ARE and most dont care if they wipe out every doe left..

when you see crews from out of county driving the same drives over and over until they get every last deer out of there,i know, i saw it this year..

its not only thedoe that are taking it ,its the SMALL BUCKS ALSO.not given chance to grow up.

look at my comments, notice that more small bucks were taken than doe.this is because honest hunters are leaving little bucks go per AR rule and only shooting doe,then in comes the dishonest ones and are shooting small bucks and ANY doe.

now my area is almost devoid of deer..

i have great habitat in my area i hunt and very few deer are left..
it broke my heart after seeing that mother/fawn shot by that crew..

some people stopped and asked them why they would shoot mother with her fawn,they wanted meat and are MOVING ON.

i took this week and went to most of camps i know in area of clinton/potter.
the camps with rosters with hunters over 16,MOST did not even have deer on roster.

gangs that came in without a camp and had kids, for 1 week, they avg 3 small buck and 1 or 2 doe.

these same deer were left go by the camps that did not have kids or were trying to save a fawn.
you can see that they are mad,they are trying to save deer so we have deer and in comes CREWS from out of area , no camp,get out of trucks and drive the drives 3 TIMES until they take every deer that is left out of that area THEN they move to another area like you said we should do.

when we had county only doe tags we had deer,thats way it should be to stop these MEAT hungry kill and move to another area hunters.[:@]
