You have to visit the mountain of 4c just north of the homeland for the waves and waves of Amish and Mennonite farmers hunting for food. I have seen multiple groups of 20 or less drivers, somtime 5-10 women and kids not holding weapons driving and driving over and over until the deer are gone. The kids and women are there purely for tags. The carts loaded with deer are all you need to see. Farm carts pulled by bicyles and people just hauling them out.

The excessive tags on public land are just plain wrong. All you have to do is get out there and see what has happened.

As a kid - 30 years ago, I endured the inbalance in the herd and the doe season after 2 weeks of chasing them into hiding and I think I am a pretty darn dedicated hunter that lives and sleeps the sport. I didn't need the brown it goes down to keep me interested.

The youth and elderly tags were put in place to make sure the smaller bucks and more does get killed.
If what you say is going on in the open and you fail to report and document these crimes then you are as much to blame as the PGC for not prosecuting these poachers.

If you poach and I see you ,you are getting busted.
