Am I happy with the direction things are going ,of course not ,but thats no reason to make up conspiracy theories about government agency's trying to ruin your lives. There are still enough deer out there that any one that wants to kill one and puts the time and effort required, will kill one.
There are roughly 924K hunters and less than 1M PS deer, so there aren't enough deer for everyone to kill one ,especially since some hunters shoot 5 or 6 /yr. The sustainable harvest is less than 350K deer/yr. That means over 450K hunters won't harvest a deer no matter how much they scout, how far they travel or how hard they hunt!!!
And I don't feel that hunting at Smokies Beer & burger constitutes deer hunting.
Every year I read about some numb nuts that bags his first buck after hunting for twenty five years,First off the purchase of a hunting license does not make one a deer hunter,nor does it decrease ones ineptness.
And if you can't get it done in five years then just maybe your more suited to be a golfer.
