RE: Rifle season 2008 is history
Many guys have hung up their hats, due to the low deer numbers. Positives is that the deer will come back. Sadly many of those hunters will not. So some of you can wring your hands in selfish delight, enjoying your new found solitude, tout the loss of the "lazy slob hunters, weekend warriors, etc."..... Maybe that's what the PGC was trying to do all along...weed out the weekend warriors and transform PA into a trophy hunting destination. Well, you should all have no problems now filling your walls with trophies. After all, it IS a competition sport and less competition means more trophies on the wall for me. And we're all for making it easier and easier to harvest trophies. Food plots, mineral supplements, selective harvest.....soon every buck killed will make the record books, for sure!What an accomplishment and such a large and rare specimen of nature that deer will be. And as the herds grow beyond our power to control with our dwindling numbers, leading to mounting environmental and social pressures to reduce the herd again and PETA and their buddies come calling, then will we miss the strength of our numbers?
