Cornie,
Unless we have different versions of the dictionary, I would think that "dismal" would only be accurate if pretty much everyone rated the hunting as poor or a waste of time. But, I'm not gonna argue this, I just wanted to get some insight into how HNI members with actual hunting experience in PA view things there. I now have a somewhat better idea of how things are beyond what is said in the frequent arguments between the hardcore pro vs. con groups.
