All of you should be happy that you hunt in PA and what YOUR game commision is doing for you and your deer herd. I live in WV and they have yet to make any attempt to improve the deer herd like PA has. I wish we had someone like Dr. ALt in WV. I only live 20 minutes from Ohio and 1 minute from PA and I started hunting in OH this year but if PA continues improving the way that they have the last couple years I may switch to PA. Spotlighting in the late summer and driving to work in Pittsburgh all year round there is still to many deer around but it is coming down and the quality is going up.
I would love to have a n october doe season in Wv,I would love to have a late archery/black powder. WV has one of the shortest hunting seasons around. I would love start bowhunting 2 weeks earlier like PA or in sept. like kentucky.
If you don't like doe hunting don't shoot them and don't let people on your property shoot them it's as simple as that, but don't try and stop me on my land. My dad and I shoot 8-10 doe a year where we hunt and if the dnr would ever allow us more we probably would. We keep some ,give them to friends and give them to the needy. In the last 4 years I have killes 18 does and 0 bucks where i hunt cause I have missed 2 and haven't seen any others that fit my criteria of a buck that I would shoot.
The sunday hunting is the same thing if you don't want to hunt don't but I do.Only 10 counties in WV have sunday hunting because the rest voted it down. Luckily my county still has it. I love to hunt with all weapons and every day that I can. I work every other weekend fri, sat, and sunday so on my weekend off I hunt fri,sat,and sun.
Be thankfull of what your pgc is doing for you and hope it continues on the right path even though Dr Alt is gone.
