I feel one point that is not being made is just how many people didn't shoot a deer by choice.

I know plenty of guys who went deer-less because they didn't see the buck they wanted, all though some of you will never mature past the "a bucks a buck" mentality, plenty of us are more than happy to pass on AR legal bucks, hunting more & longerfor a chance a real trophy buck.[:-]

Just like most will never play M.L.B. most of you will never take the time to develop the skills it take to consistently kill mature bucks. Hell some of you can't kill a doe, let alone a buck that has survived several seasons.

My point being, more of us each yearare passing on 2.5 year old bucks each year and each of those bucks has that much better chance on passing his superior genetics along for another year. And thats precisely why our hunting in PA will continue to get better every year.
