I agree pa needs to at least go back to the 3 days of doe for a couple of years. the problem is the pgc. is not going to admit they over did it with there antler restriction program by going to a 2 week anything goes.where do they think the big bucks they want to create come from bucks, no your doe population.that is why I also hunt ohio.yes if possible I can shoot 3 doe and 1 buck in my area in ohio but, 2 of those tags have to be used up before the gun season and only 1 week of gun season with a shotgun which has to be plugged for 3 shells only.we had over 1 million hunters in pa every year with alot of people who where able to shoot the buck of their choice.we now have 830,000 hunters a year and dropping with people complaining about not even seeing all these big bucks gary alt said would be running around in pa woods.
you will still get archery hunters who don't hunt gun say they like the new program but, many have private land to hunt on.try hunting on game lands and say the same thing about how great antler restrictions are and how many deer you see.a game warden after the 1st day here in my area 1b stated on tv at a butcher shop for deer that the kill was down but, the deer have become secretive and hunters have got to change their hunting habits.he would not tell me that face to face as I have hunted for 47yrs now and we put on drives and do not push out the deer we use to.lucky to see 2 or 3 together.it is time for all hunters who think our pa herd is down to it's lowest ever to take back our hunting rights and have a choice of which deer we choose to harvest.gary alt tried to make pa a big buck state only for the revenue he thought out of state hunters would bring and it failed.why do you think gary alt is no longer around.
