Too bad Ed Wentzler is not still speaking for the UBP.
What year was that? A LOOOOOONG time ago. If you look at most states their Archery seasons are still way longer than PA. I hunt NJ and you can Bow hunt Deer from Sept til the end of Feb. Someone has to get first crack at the Deer. What do you think would happen if the Gun Hunters got the first crack at the Deer in early Sept/Oct? Yes Ed Wentzler was a great leader for the UBP. The UBP is a shell of what it once was. Thats for sure!
