Yup, will take me a few weeks to figure out the PA season breakdown you just posted OT, LOL.
Guess the question would be, are the deer over harvested under harvested or just right? What have the biologist saying about the deer populations. If these areas are under harvested then it would make sense to extend the season by some method. Whether that would be opening a firearm season a few days earlier or opening archery a few days earlier. Either way this has a motto, a thousand ways to skin a cat attached to it. Now if each area your talking about is over harvested then lets face reality and say the seasons need to be cut to protect the deer numbers. If cuts are not done in time you will easily get into a position that even more drastic cuts will be required further down the road.
