Commissioner Tom Boop of Northumberland County — the board's most vociferous opponent of the deer program — said the harvest numbers don't tell the whole tale, though.
It's true, the overall harvest shows there are still deer to be taken, he said. But his concern is that more and more of them are coming from private — and posted — land.
"Certainly, last year was a good year on private land," Boop said. "But the backbone of this sport has always been the guy who worked for the borough or the municipal plant down the road and had a couple of kids and a couple of days to hunt, usually on public land. I think that guy is in trouble."
