I started my ex-wife, my son, my daughter, my present wife, a 12 year old kid that came from a non-hunting family, and another neighborhood kid that wanted to hunt. They all currently think hunting in 2G sucks, the PGC is full of chit, and no longer purchase licenses. My grandson turns of age this month to hunt in Pa, but I guess he's just going to have to wait until he turns of age to hunt New York. The hunting that I have to offer him in Pa can't compete with other activities that he enjoys.

As for me, I'll continue to purchase a basic license to hunt turkeys, focus my attention on deer hunting out of state for meat in the freezer and horns on the wall, and piddle around in Pa when I get bored filling tags in New York. No more Pa doe tags, no more DMAP tags, no more bear tags, no more archery stamp, no more extra spring gobbler tags, no more furtakers license, no more bobcat drawing. The crossbow issue was the final straw for me. Not so much that I'm against crossbows, but more of an issue of hunters concerns not being heard.
