RE: Pa Game Comm. Overhaul
If I am correct, the PGC is basing their conclusion that hunters are only killing 15% of available deer, based on tagging studies in a fairly remote area with limited access.I don't recall that the remainder of the tagged deer all died that year from some other form of mortality, only that 15% of the tagged deer were harvested. I would be curious to see similar studies from more accessible areas. Also, if this figure held true for the entire state, harvest would befar belowrecruitment, and the herd would be exploding all around us.
