Default RE: PA Deer Management

Did I miss something? Did the PGC publish a count on 8 pointers?
The count may or may not have doubled in the short time we've had AR but to my knowledge there hasn't been a count. Anyone who hant seen the dramatic improvement in the quality the average rack hasn't been paying attention.

Funny how the guys who wont give Alts efforts a chance whine about lack of deer and then almost in the same sentence complain that the herd isn't getting reduced under his plan?!?!?!?

MikeE, stick to things you know. You claim the PGC is under pressure from the insurance industry ...NOT!!! There is not one record of any insurance industry requests, pressure , lobbying the PGC etc or even stating that they care about our deer numbers. Not one.

I have been in the insurance industry for 27 years and have never once heard ANY insurance company even mention our deer numbers as a problem. Anything that causes claims that can be calculated statistically (and deer claims can) is beneficial to the insurance industry. If it causes claims, they figure out how much it'll be and charge accordingly. The only thing that worries insurance companies are claims they cant predict or predict the magnitude of. IE: millions for a lady who spills McDonalds hot coffee in her lap. Deer claims are hardly worth a mention in the insurance industry's big scheme.
