Who cares how many doe permits they give out? If there are not many deer do notshoot any does. If you need HR than shoot them. Alot of you guys complain there are no deer but will put on deer drives to kill the last one, than blame it on the PGC.
The deer explosion of the 80's and 90's surehas produced a differentbreedof hunter. I am sure they will not understand what i am talking about.
9 crews went thru my area i hunt that had around 3 deer in it.
2 of those crews drove first week in wmu2g ,clinton county in my area.
they were buck hunters only and LOCAL crews.
from the first saturday, which you could kill a doe, in came 7 crews from out of areas like harrisburg where deer are and tried to kill off the 2 doe that were left,the buck was shot earlier.they hunted for 4 of days in second week also.
in those crews it averaged 7 to 11 hunters.
i asked them why they would come here and kill off the 2 doe that were left when they had so many deer in harrisburg area..
ONE WITH GLASSES ON END OF HIS NOSE SAID,SPROUL WE SAW HERDS OF DEER HERE IN EARLY IN-LINE SEASON.
this was a college student too, maybe he will be a commissioner for the PGC someday.
