ruffed you're running loose with a few figures on hunter's numbers. It is estimated by the PGC that less than 60% of back tag buyers hunt deer. Now do the math with that 10% figure of yours.....pretty steep amt. of hunters aren't happy with the deer situation in Pa.
** before some poster askes where I got this report from, go to the PGC's own site and look it up for yourself*****
I think you might have meant that only 60% hunt anterless deer since about 560K anterless tags were sold on the first round and quite of few deer hunters don't hunt doe. in 1985 98% of the hunters that responded to the PGN survey said they hunted deer. There is a new survey on page 2 of the Mar. 2005 PGN.
