RE: How many Pa hunters are pleased?
If you only view the impact of Alt's plan in terms of how it will effect you as an individual , then you are missing the true impact the plan will have. If buck harvests drop below 100K and total harvests are under 300K, seasons will be shortened, there will be no bonus tags and hunters will be allowed 1 deer/yr. When that happens many hunters will quit and then how will the PGC control the herd ? Also, once we reach 13 DPSM the PGC will attempt to keep the herd at that level and the population will not be allowed to increase even if the habitat recovers. That means we will only be able to harvest 2 buck PSM and that will be very hard hunting for many.
