I dare say that you and your ilk have done far more harm to the sport of hunting and the future of our resources then even the poachers can do.
And I dare say the PGC staff that made the following claims about the new deer management plan bear the brunt of the resonpsiblity for harming the sport of hunting and the future of the resource.
1. ARs would double or triple the number of 8 pt. bucks.
2. Buck harvests would return to normal after the first year of ARs.
3. HR and ARs would increase breeding rates and recruitment and offset the loss of adult doe.
4. The breeding window would decrease as a result of ARs .
5. The decrease in the breeding window would overwhelm predators resulting in better recruitment.
6. Dominant breeding of older bucks would improve the gene pool resulting in bigger 2.5+ buck.
None of the above claims have been shown to be true and as a result the credibility of the PGC is at an all time low.
I'm thinking bowling for bucks would confirme your status as buck master of PA wild woods.[:-]
