Default RE: PA antler restriction

ORIGINAL: bluebird2

The data I posted was provided by WCO Dick Bodenhorn. Would you like to call him a liar just like you routinely call me a liar? PGC supporters often have trouble with dealing with reality because their preconceived perceptions are contradicted by the facts. And the facts are that archers do very little to help control the herd while at the same time they cherry pick the bucks and complain about the introduction of X-bows.
I didn't challenge the percentage of 2B that has trees but you have no basis for inferring howmuch of that forested areamay or may not fall within the safety zone rules. It's simply a fact of life in 2B that archery hunting is allowed or welcomed on a huge number of properties where gun hunting is simply not allowed. Usually thats simply the choice of the private property owners and the vast majority of 2B isprivate property.
It's also important to note that much of the pulic property in 2B where hunting is allowed is restricted to bowhunting only by the municpality that owns it.

You have not presented any data that shows how much of 2B falls into a safety zone that would prove Gregs statement wrong. We will waitfor youto find thatdocumentation and get back to us
