Yeah. So we noticed. But Pgc is considered a "Mid Atlantic" state, not a "northern" one. So why compared stats with states like Maine, Etc with rock bottom deer densities and hunter hunter densities? lol. Why compare us to Rhode Island, Jersey & Delaware when they are so ridiculously small??

I think you are smart enough to answer that without me having to tell you btb.
You are partailly correct when you call PA a Mid-Atlantic state. It depends on who is making the reference. For example, we are on the Norteast froum here. Sometimes the country is divided differently and PA is often referred to as Mid-Atlantic and is also often referred to as Northeastern.

In this context, however, your point is moot because all the other states known as Mid-Atlantic were also used in the comparison l. Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey were all included. As for some of the states being small, the comparison was done on a per square mile basis so state size is also of no matter. 13 states is 1/4 of the US. Where were they supposed to draw a line? Ohio is the only adjoining state that wasnt included. Should they have used all 50?
