Default RE: Depleted PA deer populations

What was the TOTAL harvest in 1999, including bucks and does? What is the total harvest now? As long as that number is the same........wouldn't hunters still have the same opportunity to put meat in the freezer? I don't have issues seeing deer in PA when I hunt, but I hunt private land. I do think that HR is out of control a bit in certain areas in PA, however I dont' have any problems with AR. People get the two confused too easily, it is possible for one to be good without the other IMHO. I have seen more and bigger bucks since AR, so I love it. I wouldn't mind seeing less does killed though.
