RE: Longer Archery Season in Pa
If I was running the show, bow season would come in on the last saturday in September, and continue non-stop through new year's weekend.
Rifle season would become shotgun/muzzleloader only, and I would quickly become the most hated man in the State of Pennsylvania. |

If I were running the show, I would implement "earn-a-buck". For those of you whoaren't familure with this program, you must kill a doebefore you canshoot a buck. In my area, 5-D, there are unlimited antlerless permits. Obviously there's too many deer in this region, so with "earn-a- buck" hunters would focus more on killing a doe than they would if given a choice. Make sence?
Also, the fact that there are antler restrictions says that they want morebucks to be able to mature and have bigger racks,once again "earn-a-buck" would help to acheivethis goal. The only problem I can think of is how to enforce the program?What do you folks think about this? |

Early in I'd be all for that, they gotta do some thing. They are now considering a bill (550 in yesterdays daily local)that would allow a farmer to hire guns to thin herds for crop damage. I don't know if I like that Idea.

RE: Longer Archery Season in Pa
ORIGINAL: mauser06 i personally dont care for the new seasons. its a DOE season incase you guys didnt know. in my part of 2B i wont be shooting any does any time soon unless i find an area that HAS alot. the farm country i hunt just got pounded in the recent years. i hear if i hope a county over i will see more deer..getting permission to hunt will be hard.. personally its too hot for me to hunt preseason....and hunting after the season during the peak of the rut with a unfilled buck tag only being allowed to take does would be like torture!! and rybo is right...a couple weeks of a doe bow season wont have hardly any impact if at all. |

Mauser,
I was refering to having a statewide archery buck and doe season that runs a long time. I think in the hard to reach areas the extended doe season will help out. I plan to get at least 3 more tags than normal with the extra time. |
RE: Longer Archery Season in Pa
That will be nice to get a few early doe in the frezzer. There thick a ticks on a hound on some of the farms I hunt in 5c-5d. More BOWHUNTING YEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
