Hunter satisfaction is typically a by product of good game management. See Ohio. Of course it helps immensely to have a strong pro hunting advocate in your Governor's office, one that gives a rat about his fellow hunters, and doesn't sell them out in favor of his ecoweenie liberal bed buddies. See all the habitat improvement in the form of the reclaimed strip mines. Now that's sound management and beneficial to many species of game and wildlife, and the deer hunting is representative of that. Granted there are many differences between NC PA and OH, but not nearly so much between SW PA and OH. Great soil, great deer potential....one state has great hunting, one is more concerned with trying to grow trees and wildflowers. It's all in the underlying political agendas. Good news is fast Eddie is on his way out, and we have an opportunity to make a huge gain if we could elect a pro hunting governor to appoint some pro hunting commisioners.
