"But in any case we will definitely be loosing a lot of older hunters as success rates drop."

You have over 1 million deer hunters each year hunting a state that is one of the smallest in the country, I'm sure that if you "lost a few hunters" it would do nothing more then make hunting better for everybody else who was still out there trying.

PA hunting is so far from hunting down here that I'm not even going to get into this debate, besides I'm thousands of miles away, its not my bussiness anyway, thankfully.
