How many pa hunters are pleased?

Put me down as a no.

The last two years have been lousy hunting. I hunted in two separate counties and after talking to many other hunters hve concluded that it was very poor. Of course I was not shocked when the commission released this seasons numbers and they were down. We heard very little shooting all season.

As for the density goals, they are ridiculas and are a blatant gift to the Pa. timber industry that is currently leading the commission around by the nose. I think 2004 will be interesting, those that love a smaller herd will be getting it. And those that were more traditional hunters will IMO be more vocal this fall if the season is another flop.

Buck harvests have dropped for several years, the commission is on thin ice and if it drops again I think we should can the plan.

Oh, btw most of my fiends who I hunt with feel the way I do. This plan has not produced anything close to what was promised, it was mostly a lie to get herd reductions at any cost. Our group is less than happy.
