Could itbe that there are less hunters there allowing deer to get older and larger in those other states? Could it be that most hunters in those other states do strive to pass younger deer and shoot older deer? PA has 800,000 hunters with a mentality of wanting to shoot a buck so they can brag about how they got their buck this year, no matter the size. I think PA's genetics are fine, it's the age structure of the Buck that leads to lower B&C entries not genetics.
