Along those same lines,it's ridiculous for someone to hunt an areas previously scouted that has little sign or few deer.Once again,it's not up to the PGC to see that the deer herd is spread evenly accross the state
No, it is not ridiculous for me to hunt an area with little sign. I am hunting an area with good cover and an unlimited food supply where the deer do not have to move to different areas to find food or cover. This area has had reasonably good hunting until herd reduction took it's toll and left us with the worst hunting since the deer became established in this area in the 60's. Therefore, there is little reason to move to a new area with worse habitat and unknown deer density.
Furthermore, I no longer want to kill a deer bad enough to travel long distances and spend a lot of money just to kill a doe or two. So my choice is to either hunt the 300+ acres I have access to or quit. And ,if I quit 6 other hunters will also quit and my 13 yr. old niece won't have anyone to take her hunting, but I have no doubt that doesn't concern you one bit.
