JJ : we live here in Pa we hunt here in Pa we are constantly told by the PGC to harvest does for the benifit of the habitat/herd here in Pa by the PA GC.
What lesson would it send to our youth to allow them to kill a sub AR legal buck and let a doe walk?
I remeber when all this youth hunting was just being discussed here in Pa by the commissioners. One of the main reason but not the only was to aide the youth in killing a deer or at the very least "get the kid some shooting" to get him hooked. NOWHERE did they say a buck,any buckwill do it faster.
We want to teach our kids here in Pa to be better conservationists, as Dr. alt stated many times, "we need to reeducate our hunters to the benifit of killing does an allowing immature bucks to walk", then why start them off thinking it any doe is ok but any buck is GREAT????????
