Default RE: pa antler restrictions yes or no?

You knew what I meant by killing whatever they see= brown it's down. I know it's happening and anyone sitting in the woods hearing one gun fire 5 shots at a deer is almost always shooting at deer out of range or in cover.You yourselfdefended those who need more than one shot due to firing in heavy cover,more mistaken killshappen this way thanany other. Having the ability to kill doe all rifle season long is a MAJOR factor in the reduction of the deer herd. If antler restrictionwas a major factor ina reduction in the deer pops. the areasI hunt outside of this state would reflect the same- THEY DO NOT. I heard your overwintering stats and your fawn birth stats and all those other stats you quote from theGame Commission. I know what I see and I know from experience what an antler restriction did for the lands I have hunted. We have alot less deer in my area of PA but the numbers of Big Buck harvested now compared to when I started hunting is much higher. Am I completely happy? No! In my area the doe allocations have to be reduced andif not for AR- every deer in the woods would be killed, wounded or get shot at. I do not believe having a free for all is going to do any good for the deer populations. Nor is that a safe environment for anyone who hunts or lives near hunting grounds. You and I have beat this dead horse into burger already. I said what I had to, now you have my willingness to leave you have the last word. Enjoy!
