"You may have trouble finding deer in 2A but I don't know anyone else who does"
You probably know noone and if so someone who hunts highly off limits land. I also dont have trouble finding deer even though I hunt nonposted private and public land also. i dont rate pgcs performance on wether I can find a deer or not. Pretty petty crap, your view of that if that is indeed your view.
I live here. I hunt here. I know dozens of others that do. None of them are particularly happy with the gameless commission these days. And these guys arent unskilled jokers like ya'all.

Many of the better hunters, self included when speaking of effect to us personally, the main gripe is the lessened number of good bucks due to less being born and more bb being killed. We have no effect from ar, since the number saved doesnt equal the number of bb not being born and those that were killed as bb for years now thanks to far too many tags.
No reason for us to go to "big-woods" deer levels (even pgc supports that contention by word if not by action). but that is exactly where we are headed thanks to blanket unwarranted reductions.
