Default RE: Pa. deer hunting BAD????

mast has been plentifull the last two year here too.

....and Dr. Alt has not asked anyone to show discression in using tags. he put 1.04 million tags out there for one reason....to harvest the oversized pa deer herd which is twice as large as the habitat can support.

Incase you did not know, you are on a mission to save the environment...and yuppies suburban SUV's from being dented.
Dr. alt encourages you to fill those tags, or we will never get to the deer goals he has set.

Unlike some who fail to scout, most hunters are scouting and not finding very much to get excited about. Early returns on Archery tags show that
numbers are down. the harvests since AR/HR was implemented are down. Hunters enthusiasm is down. And after this deer season, our license sales will probably be down.

But hey, thats modern deer management.
