HR is what many are up in arms about and frankly I think they're just greedy and need to adapt
Well said, Jason
It depends on when you were brought into deer hunting in PA. I remember when a guy would hunt hard all season and possibly not get a shot op at a deer. Seems that when you did get one it was so much more satisfying and you had a real sense of accomplishment. The last 10 to 15 years have really spoiled alot of the "trout fishermen" in PA. Instant, easy results and gratification are the objectives in todays world. The program is working. Herd reduction AND some dandy bucks around, for those that desire the challenge of hunting them. Even though there are more big bucks, that doesn't mean they will be easy to kill. A buck gets real elusive when he gets older. I think the program has done more to restore hunting as a true discipline and not a casual activity.
