Btb says: "One has nothing to do with the other."
Sure it does. You are the one who spoke of others wanting it easier in the way of more deer and not having to hunt. Well thats exactly what you are doing by hunting a lease or headin' out to Ill. I have no problem with it. And most have no delusions about Pa becoming Illinios. But lets not be hypocritical to those who want somewhat better average hunting conditions for the state.
Choosing to hunt other places as well as PA doesnt change the fact that our deer hunting overall has gotten better for most of the season as a result of our getting away from the one day deer shoot.
I dont follow what you are getting at. Why would the hunting be better the rest of the season after the first day then it used to be...when we start out now with many less deer?
