Well the stated goal was to stabilize the herd statewide. The doe harvest could hardly look more stable on a statewide basis.


As for the increase in the buck harvest, I think most will agree that 07 afforded terrible hunting weather during the traditional days when many bucks are harvested followed by terrific hunting conditions on the corresponding days in 08. A substantially better buck year was to be expected.



Didn't Slinsky say we'd be down to below 50,000 deer statewide by now?




Herd stabilzed, better bucks, habitat regenerating nicely in most parts good hunting for those who really hunt.......

ANOTHER GREAT DAY IN PA!!!
