RE: Dr Alt Meetings.......
Frank; i have lived while in the service and hunted Alaska. so I'll use that state as an example of how quotas are filled. On the Kenai penninsula ( where I lived) each year a set number of Brown bear tags were set aside for excess bears. EVERY killed bear regardless of how it died..car,self protection,etc. was deducted from that number. If there were tags available at the seasons onset hunting was allowed. Each day the hunter or guide was responsible to listen to the radio watch local news etc. to see if the permits were filled. You had 24 hrs to report your kill. I filed mine by 2 way radio, within 2 hrs of harvesting my bear. it is that simple. In Pa a near identical plan could be established with implementing check stations. many public parks hold deer hunts nationwide. check in in the AM check out in the PM if you have a deer to report.
As far as the wounded deer you spoke of in an earlier post...I say what's the difference if 1 hunter carried a bow and wounded a deer and a gun hunter finished it off. Or if a gun hunter hits a deer and another gun hunter finishes it off? In both cases those guys are hunting too close to eachother anyway. I've killed someehere around 50 deer with my bow. I never had a leathal shot in a deer that it went more than 1500-200yds. most were dead in les than 50 yds. Besides the numbers in your senario would be small at best. Even I will except some margins in this deer management buisness.
