Shows how some dullards can read, but cannot comprehend.
Pa is going through the biggest changes in hunting in 75 years, and you don't think anyone is going discuss it on a message board?
BWWWAhaaahaaaahaaaaa........ too funny!
Unlike some sports where people have no real deep thought or convictions on the subject...we are talking about Pa deer hunting traditions. Get it?
Outdoor life featured the deer camp next to ours on one of its magazine covers, and did a story on its traditions and longevity and the family that hunted there for 50 years. They take thier hunting serious, and have never had a population huge enough to get picky and turn down certain bucks because they didn't have the proper head gear.
Pa is a huge deer hunting state that takes the privledge very seriously. Apparently much more serious than the flippant hunters of Texas.
Yea, you can be guaranteed that hunters in Pa WILL be discussing the most controversial deer manager the PGC has ever had (by thier own words), and they will discuss the biggest changes in 75 years for a while...... you have to be daft to think otherwise.
It might be no big deal if the PGC was attempting to provide more bucks and more deer to hunt, but they aren't they are telling hunters they would like to cut the Penna deer herd by half. Which in case you are poor in math, means less opportunity for eveyone and we have experienced three straight years of declining buck harvests.
If they decided to cut the herd in Texas by half I bet it would generate a bit of discussion on the Texas boards too...... Doh...
By the way the camp that was once featured on the cover of Outdoor life will sit empty for the first year in many, many years. The sons no longer will make the trip since deer numbers have dropped and success rates have dropped in 4d. As one of the boys said at the end of last season "It ain't worth making the trip anymore". Thier camp hunted for a week and saw nothing shootable.
Now thats a big problem for Penna traditions and hunters.
And that is worth talking about if you are interested in the future of Pa hunting.
