RE: Depleted PA deer populations
Buck harvest is dropping OH NO! Buck harvest is dropping OH ON!
Shoot a freakin doe and get off your buck kick.
The overall harvest has remained close to what it was before AR. Yes, less bucks are being harvested but the age and size of these are bigger than before. If you weren't so narrow minded you could see that, even by going to the local butcher.
Before AR only 20% of the buck harvested were 2.5 yr old. In 2002 it was 32% and 2003 it was 44%
80% of 1.5 yr old were harvested before AR and now its down to 50%.
Your right stats don't lie.
Chick if you still want to shoot your spike every year so you can be a REAL hunter, go ahead, I won't tell.
