You can't beat hunting the bigwoods though.When I'm perched in my treestand at the cabin with the smells and colors of fall I'm in another world.I just wish the PGC would make some serious adjustment on the anterless allocations.I don't need to see the deer we saw in the 80's but man it's getting tough just finding a few.
dcnr has brainwashed so many people or should i say,THEY ARE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GO PLACES.even our sportsmans clubs are being run by people that walk the talk.
this is happening because of lack of interest in getting involved.when door is left open, in comes WALK THE TALK PEOPLE.
this is why a lot of great sportsman have quit the clubs and now hikers are taking over or are being active.folks,no doubt in my mind that we are going to continue to lose influence in state and locally too.by not being active and spending time trying to stop this mess,we are losing as hunters.
i see deer hunting getting a lot worst in state of pa.i was very shocked to read about how bad deer hunting is getting on privateland too and in areas that used to have good numbers of deer in farm areas out of big woods...........
i did see something that showed a little hope.
i saw local crews in renovo area of clinton county that did not kill a doe this year because of lack of doe but some were shocked to only see 4 deer in 6 days of hunting the first week........
i was pleased to hear some kids say, DAD I DONT WANT A DOE THIS YEAR.I WILL HUNT BUCK..
that was good to hear also and 2 were kids that hunted their first year too.but i only saw 4 kids this year but know of 100 that have license.
this is why i feel that only KID SHOULD BE ABLE TO HARVEST A DOE HERE IN CLINTON COUNTY.no adult can kill a doe in wmu2g.
its that bad right now in clinton county............
right now almost everyone i talk too is going hunting with flintlock next 2 weeks. i only hunt buck in this season but almost all i know are doe hunting.
i guess we just dont get it,kill, kill, kill until they are gone.
