Default RE: PA Deer Management

I have no doubt that the buck harvest increased in Wyoming county.Their antlerless allocations haven't been enough to decrease the herd.Plus,with the exception of sgl 57,the entire county in privately owned.I grew up in Wyoming county and am fortunate to make it back there a few times a year to hunt.I have no problems with some of the theories behind this management plan.I just can't except the ridiculous deer density goals for each unit.I hunt in Wyoming county where the deer density is 3 times it's goal.Save some 1.5 year old bucks and the hunting is bound to be better.The problem is,once the deer densities goals are met,none of Alt's claims will come true.I live in the southern portion of 2g.Currently,this is the only area that has reached the deer density goals.Let me tell you,there is a world of difference between hunting at this deer density and one that's three times the goal.
