Default RE: Depleted PA deer populations

Deer902, i don't think he said anything about AR's being ****ty. The subject at hand here is the many doe tags and 2 week rifle season to kill them. I'm sure chickory would love to shoot a doe if he could just see one.

I myself love the antler restrictions, and like you said I've made a trip to the local butchers. Here almost 50% of antlerless deer were button bucks. Now say what you want but I think thats freakin ridiculous. Either people need to open their eyes and check for buttons before they go on a firing rampage or we need shorter antlerless seasons so less are killed. I vote option #2.

*EDIT* And deer herd reducing is not an excuse that they should be able to use because this land held that many deer for well over a century, and its surely capable of doing it now. The only reason the PGC is whining that they need herd reduction is because they're being pressured by insurance companies.
