YES, THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS, SAID IT THREE TIMES NOW. if you won't hunt down there because of the restrictions and lack of deer sightings compared to what you are used to seeing, or know of someone that won't, this is the place to speak up. sorry, but it really bugs me when you guys take for granted just how good your hunting is, and complain, day, after day, after day about. i bet two days can't go by without a new post being put up, or responded to, about your herd. pa really, really needs there own forum, or to be put into say the midwest, which is where they truly belong.

Sorry ,vtbuckrulrss I didn't realize you owned this particular post and that PA residence are not allowed to post to it....I'll do my best to moderate your personal post to keep PA residence out.[&:]
One thing I can't argue about with you is, about all the whining from PA hunters on this board and if you take the the time to research it, you've never seen me complain once about my PA hunting, in fact I'm just the opposite and I too am tired of all the PA complaint posts, it's getting ridiculous as far as I'm concerned and at times am embarrassed of how PA hunters are complaining. In that respect, I agree.
However, PA will not and does not need it's own forum. On behalf of HNI, it's unfortunate that PA outnumbers most the country in sheer hunter numbers and by ratio, there are alot on this site but they are part of the NE and I've attempted to lessen the PA redundancy posts by locking and deleting but you won't see me make a post and then say no Vermont residence need or can reply to it because this is an open forum.
I didn't condemn your complaint about PA complainters but did however question the statement about meat hunters. I find "meat hunters" to be a rediculous statement given the example set forth about and that my fellow mod chose to belittle me for but I stand behind. It might not even be the way I think but what I know to be true through human behavior....tell me, vtbuckrulrss if you did have the opportunity to see two bucks together, one large and one small, which would you harvest for meat?
And Rick, If one owned a buck/doe combo tag and a doe stood with a monster buck at 50 yards in an open field, what do you think a rifle hunter would shoot? A 5pt and a B&C 10 pt for that matter? I don't think my statement was "hogwash" but the reality of it is, the buck would fall before the doe and the larger buck would fall before the smaller one. The only exceptions to that would be a hunter passing it in hopes his fellow co hunter would score on it, or....to let it grow....either way, it's not being a meat hunter.....there's always another agenda. But you are entitled to your opinion and I wouldn't call your opinion "hogwash" in an open forum. But that's just me and my opnion.
