PGC supporters only want hunters to manage the herd so they have an excuse for the excessive allocation of doe tags in most WMUs. The average hunter has no idea whether there are too many deer, too few deer or the right number in the area they hunt. If there is no snow on the ground even experienced hunters don't know how many deer there are in a given area. The bottom line is the PGC is in charge of managing the herd and they are solely responsible for the fact that the buck harvest has dropped by 46%.
So according to your thinking the average hunter is more Elmer Fudd like than we wouldlike to think. He enters the woods blindly hoping to fill the tags granted him by the P.G.C..
No scouting,no spotting or even just a nice shot gun totting winter walk in the woods.
Do they leave home on the first day with a location in mind ,or do they just look for a wide spot in the road and go from there?

God I pitty your neighbors.
