I have to agree with the people that condone sharpshooters. Hunters (real hunters) have no business in these populated areas. All city hunting does is throw gas on a volatile situation. I used to drive through these areas (Bucks,Delaware counties, Pa.) on my way to where I worked. It was nothing to see deer standing on sidewalks and in front yards at 10:00 in the morning. There are a few parks in the area that are opened to special "hunts" and the protesting and extra police and Game Wardens involved are not worth it. What a circus. As for bowhunting, we (hunters) don't need the extra publicity of arrow shot deer running around town and laying dead in K-MART parking lots.
A few years ago Gettysburg brought in sharpshooters to clean out the parks and the "hunters" were complaining. If you turned a bunch of hunters loose in there it would have been a war zone all over again. The best thing we as hunters can do is stay out of those areas.
