Now i dont agree with every single word said, and see a couple of mistakes such as exactly when the program began etc. but i think the opinions the bowshop owner has spoken of are for the most part accurate. People here are not happy. The bowshop is in wmu 2A Greene county and was speaking of fayette and Greene (local) hunters. A lot of hunters pass through that shop on a weekly basis and the sentiments seem to be exactly the same as those I hear and many which I see first hand.
---------------------
Notable quotes;

"The reason I want to know did it really work is that, if it did work and we are going to have bigger deer, where are they," Polish said."

"Polish said that many Fayette county hunters who patronize the shop say that deer are scarce in the county."

"He said "Ive only been back 4 to 6 weeks but everybody coming into the store is scratching their heads about the theory of our deer management program and asking, 'does this work?"

"Alot of the people are saying that worked three years ago, Now they are coming backsaying they dont have any big bucks on their farms."

""This is what Im hearing. Im hearing that more than "there are big bucks out there".

"Polish said that nearly everyone that visits his shop these days asks, "wheres the deer"?
"Pennsylvania sold its deer herd," Polish said. The deer population has had everything against it. We had the deer disease, laws have changed and there are just way too many doe licenses being sold. It has to take its toll on the deer herd."

"I, too, am concerned. As one who travels the roads at night, I see very few deer when traveling home anymore. When I do see 1 thats usually what i see-- one. I seldom see two or even three, and I dont remember the last time I saw a group of 5 or more."
