RE: PGC gets a pat on the back for it's deer program
Great publication but still disagree on Game Commision goals.Sure everyone would like to kill a 150+ buck,but in a state with the number of hunters we have combined with the genetics and food supply,I think it's foolish to believe this is possible.To try to make the deer in PA the same as those in Iowa,Texas,Illinois and those other states is a pipe dream at best.I find it hard to believe that the normal everyday hunter is willing to wait years in between kills just so he "may" eventually have a shot at a bigger buck.Many hunters are just as excited over killing a nice 4 or 6 point as they are a bigger buck.We constantly preach about getting young kids to hunt,but the antler restrictions handicap them once they reach 16 years old.There's nothing that keeps people interested like sucess,just look at the Pgh Pirates compared to the Steelers.Once again,it seems to me a prime example of
"if it ain't broke,don't try to fix it" !
