Default RE: A record Buck Harvest in PA. for 2004???

How can there be so many deer that all landowners are outraged, when the only deer harvested by anyone that you know of in the area were BB?
Do the deer hide in underground bunkers? If you are hunting around residential areas then you have to drive the deer out of their hiding places.

I guess you never had the pleasure of hunting deer where there is posted ground and a lot of houses that are owned by people from NY and NJ. The vast majority don't like hunting and don't want any hunters close to their property. Even when you do get permission it is almost impossible to get the deer to move in the direction of the standers since they'll will cut through peoples yards and stand in open fields where you can't get a safe shot and you can't approach them.

Just why do you think the population are out of control in 5C ,5B and many other WMU's? It certainly isn't due to the lack of anterless tags . It is because limited access makes deer in rural areas much harder to control by hunting than the deer in the NC county with much more publiu land.

What you may not realize is it is much harder to harvest a doe in 5 C than it is in 2G. For example, from 92-96 the PGC issued 14.5 anterless tags PFSM in Elk Co. and 48.9 tags PFSM in Northampton Co. In Elk we harvested 1 anterless deer for every 3 tags ,but in Northampton it was one anterless deer for every 5 tags issued.
