I've seen tons of deer in Pa this year, you just need to know where to find them and walk more than 100 yards from the road.
Generalizations like this are as stupid and insulting as the ones that say "there's no deer in the woods".
Gee...generalization huh? well let's break it down and see where I generalized.
First "I've seen tons of deer in Pa this year"...Well, unless you are me (which I'm pretty sure you're not) then you can't really call this generalizing can you? fact is that I HAVE seen alot of deer this year.
Second. "You just need to know where to find them" . Now call me silly but if someone told you to hunt a certain farm that was loaded with deer, or you scouted numerous areas until you find one that holds deer then that would constitute "knowing where to find them". Basically, if you know where the deer are there's a pretty good chance you'll see some. Once again not generalizing rather simple statistical analysis.
Finally. "walk more than 100 yards from the road". If you can honestly tell me that alot of the people arguing they don't see deer aren't the ones who are weekend warriors who go to the same spot in the woods every year then this MIGHT be the only part of the statement that may be considered generalizing. However, I am sure it would be a pretty safe bet saying that the majority of the deer harvested in Pa are more than 100 yards from a road. If this is the case then this too would not be considered generalizing therefore making YOUR statement stupid and insulting.
