First off, Yes Butch, Pgc has had and continues to have a"bizarre antideer campaign" ongoing. This has supposedly been muffled down to "stabilization" now that the herd has been wrecked. Yet when you review pgcs own data on their annual reports, we find that the majority of wildlife management units are STILL being reduced further the last 4 years, despite supposed goals of stabilization.

RSB says: "What do you mean what happened to Pennsylvania?"

RSB, dont play dumb. I think that self explanatory and I think you KNOW what has happened to Pa. Econuts are running the gameless commission.

"The number of resident hunters for those three states has just been posted along with the harvests for each of those states. But, if you are going to look at hunter success rates you also have to understand that if Pennsylvania had as few hunters as those other states there would be a lot more deer per hunter and of course the hunter success rate would improve."

Would it not improve here if reasonable numbers of deer were encouraged and not wantonly slaughtered for obtuse extremist agendas?

And the current harvest isnt even sustainable due to the continued herd reduction. So in a few years we will be killing even less thanks to the inappropriately small herd size.

"So, based on the real apples to apples comparisons Pennsylvania does still have one of the best deer state’s in the nation."

Absolutely absurd and nothing more than another of your unsupported wild damage control driven claims. You dont have the lowest hunter satisfaction rating in the nation and then claim best hunting! LMFAO!!

"There is nothing wrong with the hunting in Pennsylvania other then the Commission spent way too many years listening to hunter demands instead of the information the deer and their habitat were providing. Fortunately that has started to change and we have a brighter future for both the deer and deer hunter ahead."

And we all know your extreme views of hunters... Making claims like hunters should take their money and take a flying leap!!! (sounds like eco-extremist/environmentalist statement to me) In fact that view comes directly from Audubon and other extremist groups. Hunters shouldnt pay the bills or have any say in management issues. I think it is they that should take the flying leap.
