I don't think people are saying there are no deer out there, but I think people who have been hunting a long time in Pa. see the deer heard getting smaller and smaller. I think it concerns some of us to see the words of the Game Commission saying they want to kill off alot of doe.


How do we know there are 1.6 million deer in Pa's woods. The estimates are from the Commission right? What about there estimating proceedures? How do they know how many deer are shot and not recovered? How many deer are killed by hunters who don't mail in their harvest cards? How many deer are killed by coyotes and bears and cars? How many don't survive the winter? All guess work.... And if they guess wrong we as hunters should hold them accountable. ASnd I don't think the car insurance industry should be involved in any deer population discussions. We pay our premiums and if we hit a deer with a car then they pay the bills... That's how it is supposed to work.. Not slant the odds in the insurance companies favor. And I see that happening too.
