Lanse,
I can tell you atleast 7 people that live in PA that didn't shot any deer this past year, my self included. Even better then that, between the 7 of us, we totaled about 90 days hunting. 5 of them only rifle hunt. Out of all those days afield, we averaged maybe 1 deer a day. I seen the most due to the fact that I archery hunt in an area that doesn't feel the hunting pressure and probably saw atleast 45 deer. Lets go back 15 years when I was about 18. The places that I hunted back then I would have seen 45 deer in the first few hours. Do I think they needed to reduce the deer herd, yes. Should they stop, yes they should have stopped it about 3 years ago. There is no longer an interest from people I know that want to go. Some people aren't going to buy a license this year. If that trend keeps up, the PGC is going to raise the price of license and then more people aren't going to buy.
