Default RE: Pa. Deer #'s down! Duhhhhhhh!!!!

I personally havent seen that but that would be a problem. Its hard to understand how we can still have that "bucks only" mentality in this day and age.
As an archer , you should have no problem understanding the bucks only mentality. In 2004 archer harvested 28K buck and 34K anterless . since the anterled to anterless ratio is approximately 1:3 , it is pretty obvious that archers are mainly hunting for buck.

Rifle hunters ,on the other hand ,harvested 96K buck and 251K anterless. So , it is obvious that the rifle hunters do not have a problem with harvesting doe, but archers are still relying on the rifle huters to manage the herd.
