Default RE: How many Pa hunters are pleased?

You could be right, but rememeber the hunters in the 70 and 80's only expected one deer and they felt lucky if they drew one anterless tags. Today many hunters expect to harvest at least 2 deer and hope for at least 1 or 2 bonus tags. Also, in the 70's ,small game hunting got many young hunters started and kept some older hunters buying tags. Today in some areas small game hunting is almost nonexistent and holds little appeal for young hunters.

But, only time will tell what will happen, but in any case we will definitely be loosing a lot of older hunters as success rates drop.
