Chickory well said, I'd say it's time to break out the waders!

Quickie: you're all right pard. You know my hunting career is nearing the end. But still if I wanted to shoot a deer even a decent buck it is no more trouble than standing in the barn an waiting till one comes down off the mountain to feed in the meadow. I do it each fall no big deal anymore. I'm blessed with having enough of my own land which I have shared over all my life with other less fortunate hunters.
I'm fortunate that I am able to hunt in 5 different states/prov. each fall. Doing so has taught me that deer hunting here in Pa is not the glamourous outing I once thought it to be.
But you are correct, if some of us don't make some drastic changes the current method of deer management here in Pa will see an end to deer hunting by the time my grand kids are my age. What steps do the PGC take to make it more lucrative for landowners like myself to keep their lands open? They do less now than years ago and that was nearly nothing.
Like I have offered before stop in, have a cup of coffee when you're up my way. Gentleman are always welcome on Windy Knoll Farms. Uly
