RE: Pa. Gun season next year
I am totally psyched that the PGC (more antiquated and unchanging over the years than the Pope in Rome) is finally debating issues and making decisions, albeit controversial ones. The three point antler restrictions and effort to manage locally vs statewide will pay dividends in the future..especially with regards to our decimated forests and therefpre also to our precious deer.
I would like to see a longer bow-season..or if not longer than start it two weeks later and let it run through Thanksgiving so we get the precious rut. Does anyone know what the pro' s and con' s are to this issue ??
As far a a longer deer season, I support it. While it would change the clubby and historical feel to our opening day and the two precious Saturdays in the season..this is the cost of modernizing things. More people will participate (including students) and deer hunting will become more of a Fall lifestyle (as it is in the South and most other states) vs that magical moment where you get lucky or you don' t. Having a longer season should also spread out the hunting more, so you won' t have 1 MM licensed hunters all heading out to the woods at 5.45 AM on the Monday after Thanksgiving taking their crap at the exact same time..
