Default RE: situation in Pa..

Seeing less deer doesn't bother me one bit. I've only had one day without seeing a deer, but my hunting party took 3 does on that day, so it wasn't from lack of deer. We work hard to see these deer. Everyday we hunt we sit til 9 0r 10 and set up 3 and 4 man drives for the rest of the morning. The bucks that have been harvested this year are the biggest on average than I have ever seen. Our local butcher is a friend and I am able to see what people are bringing in. I don't mind seeing less deer if the buck harvest will continue to be like this. But I do agree the the doe slaughter has to stop sometime. And I believe that when Alt gets the balance that he wants the doe tag allocations will start to decline.
