I "wouldnt" answer, because I havent been here.!..... and now that I am.... It doesnt matter...

Patsy, use your head my friend. It doesnt matter if the season is one day or 365 days. The harvest is what it is. In my example, they killed more deer with between 3 and 4 times less hunters. The time doesnt matter, because if WE had more time, as they do to hunt, our herd would go EVEN SMALLER because of even more reduction. The reason they CAN have longer seasons is because they dont have 900,000+ hunters and a bazillion doe tags.. AND Because of that they have a high buck success rate, and arent slaughtering the deer herd.

So it doesnt matter if they hunted an hour or standing on their heads, almost half the hunters killed bucks, and here one in ten does.

You can say...thats not possible because of the hunter numbers in Pa. But there is no reason we cannot be killing many more bucks or more if SOME herd growth were permitted, and the antlerless slaughter restricted a bit, regardless of hunter numbers.

And the state BB spoke of, Virginia, has a two week rifle season. Remember these are only 2 examples of MANY in the country with better hunting.
