You think you can not wipe out the deer? I used to hunt the state land in Maryland called Indian Springs for years. I have not been back in years. Their DNR kept hammering the deer relentlessly with added seasons , extended seasons, added weapons and MORE tags. The last time I hunted there the first day of rifle I heard no shots until around 12:00 and then 3 really fast shots by one guy. That was it for the whole day, and buck and doe were legal. Another Game lands "improved" by the DNR. I noticed that near the end a lot of trails were being built, signs marking what type of trees, and generally the Game lands were becoming more like a park. There were no hunters to protest because they quit hunting there. It was the greedy hunters that ruined the place and it could happen here in Pa. Think about it. There is a lot more money to be made if an area is run like a park as opposed to a wild area. I see less and less hunters in the bigger wooded areas than I used to.
