RE: 2 of the top 3 reasons hunters quit
not only do your license dollars dry up when the 1 & 2 day hunters are gone but Pa loses some of its Pittman-roberts $$ also. The P-R dollars are doled out based on hunter# and if hunters do not purchase new ammo and rifles then the 10% excise tax cannot be there in the first place to return to the state.
The environmentalists push to reduce the deer herds in several states is having a bigger effect than hunters want to accept. Its sort of a natural defensive mechanism to close ones eyes and try to ignore it, but its there.
And it ain't going away anytime soon.
