BB are not that hard to identify.
Do a graduated fine - x for the 1st, 5x for the 2nd, 10x for 3rd etc.
Hunters would learn quick.
If they do mandatory AR in CNY and allow the slaughter of BB to continue, every antlerless I take on public land will have buttons.
Lots of public land around me and they are not hard to identify.

Steve .... having to tag buttons with a buck tag would not be a good idea ... what happens when your buck tag is filled and you shoot a button by mistake??

His plan is a joke, check the numbers . Our buck harvest has plummeted our doe harvest is way down. Yet the tags are still available. No science is involved .
How many of you want your deer herd decimated ? Our buck harvest was down 20 % last year .W.T.F. It has been steadily declining since numb nuts implemented this plan.
How can we be creating a healthier herd if our goal is to eliminate the herd.
Once again check the results before you applaud the plan.
Just careful what you wish for.you just might get it.[:@]

Num Nuts is a great name for that guy. I have several more, but Ill keep them to myself. I'd love to know whos tinkerbells he's tickling to keep the job. The lawmakers have been trying to bail him out, he keeps screwing it up worse! PA is in desperate need of change or, the only thing we are going to have leftto hunt is squirrel and groundhog.

Hey Gary....
Didn't you say that a lot of people would bitch in MI if they got the herd into a good population? You know.....maybe they weren't seeing as MANY deer as they "used to"...but they were seeing "better" bucks?
Is there any chance some of this is occurring in PA?
It's JUST a question, guys.

But our boy genius has forgotten that to have older bucks you must have younger bucks to grow old.

Well was run out awhile agoYou know what IMO he saved PA herd from what may have been a huge kill off. In about 10 years people will have a different view of what he did IMO.
I read something once a signature I believe here on HNI.
"It's not about us hunters, it's about them deer"
The guy who had this in his sig was on the ball
Iowa kills more % of their deer herd than Minn. If you had a choice to go on a free hunt to Iowa or Minn where would you go?(no offense to Minn hunters)
Minn has twice as much habitat

Letting bucks mature in age is a noble goal and I feel most hunters understand that our bucks average age is artificially low because of the sheer number of deer hunters in PA,so yes I agree AR will better our herds health.

RE: Antler Restiction programs ...are you for or against them?
Im going to get off this thread. Before I go home and beat my wife bc the deer population is going down the sh*tter. I wish some of those who argue against AR's and for the crazy amount of doe tags could see what many of us PA hunters are seeing. Then this would be a open and shut thread. O well. I pray they get it in order for everyones sake, including the women at home.
JK about beating the wife thing. REALLY ONLY A JOKE. I can see the police at my house already.[:@]
