Honestly if that is fact, then problem is not with PGC, but with the hunters. Thats just freakin pitiful.
Whether you realize it or not, harvesting BB is an important part of any statewide DMP. Furthermore, passing on all 1.5 buck would only reduce the sustainable harvest and make hunting even worse.
Why would you even care what I am doing with my life. I am retired and cut 12 -15 chords of firewood/ yr while managing our woodlot. I have a big garden and lots of raspberries and chestnut trees ,so I am a happy camper.
