RE: PA harvest #'s?????????
I can't for the life of me see why an adult would shoot a small buck for his kid. What does that teach our kids...to be outlaws?? Not only that , but you are taking away the thrill of the harvest when it's the kids who need to feel that thrill and want to continue hunting as an adult.
I believe that this needs to be a permenant revocation of your hunting privlidges. I also realize that the PGC is limited in manpower to enfore a lot of the game laws. I see this as a major problem for enforcement. I don't think that this would happen if an adult knew he was possibly being watched. It's sad , but an outlaw is an outlaw.
To address the "seniors" right to hunt a small buck..I say NO!!! There is a sound reason for a youth hunter to be able to kill a small buck, but not a senior. You're not trying to get seniors interested in hunting. I think this is counter-productive to the message the PGC is trying to send.
