State of hunting in PA

I think its better than ever....Lets look.

1. AR...am seeing bigger and better bucks all over our countie(s) that I hunt. I killed the biggest buck I have ever killed in PA this year
2. Fewer deer...Yah but I can live with that!! (still decent #s)
3. Turkeys everywhere!!! 2 spring birds in 06
4. They are going to let you bear hunt this year during the first week in my area!
5. More opportunities (if you want to hunt) early muzzy, crossbows etc! Keep it coming!

What I would like to see......
1. Extend bow season 1 MORE WEEK IN NOVEMBER!!! Why are we the only state that about consistently misses the best part of deer huntin.
2. I think the WMU's could be made smaller at least in some areas. I actually think they did a good job of makeing up the WMU's in our area based on geography, deer #s etc.
3. Continued habitat improvement to Gamelands and more logging (at least in my area...the timber is getting HUGE!

& YA Mike I agree with ya about the $/acre the PGC pays,,,that sucks!! that needs to be updated! (YES YOU ARE CORRECT $400/acre) that dont buy squat in todays real estate market!!
