and to think these dullards are the powers to be! Like I said in another thread: There will always be an element of IMHO slobs that just got to fill EVERY doe tag they can get and usually they have a kid or two that has a pocket full of them too. Then when faced with a freezer full of ice burned meat in June it goes out the door into the trash.
It is the hunters themselves pulling the trigger on those deer. The PGC just made it legal to do so.
i see nothing wrong with putting a deer or two in the freezer for meat,and the herd in most areas support that type of harvest under normal conditions. But once the herd is reduced it is time to go back to 1 deer a year regardless of buck or doe.
The PGC and all these " I want Pa to have trophy bucks like Ill. types" are always harping that in some areas of the state there are just too many deer and the doe must be reduced...to this I agree..BUT you NEVER hear them say anything about those sections of the state where deer numbers are well below carrying capacity...do you??????
Well Mr. Alt I pay into the GC fund with my $ as well and I want a deer program that addresses that...till then my property and my neighbors ( 2300 acres total) in Potter/Tioga counties will remain off limits to public land hunters!!!!!!!!!!!!
