RE: Penn License Sales-AUGUST 06
I've heard from a trusted source that the numbers have beencalculated but have been hidden away1 mile from the nearest roadon an unnamed game lands. Maybe some brave member of the USP spin team would dare to venture that far from his car and uncover them before the PGC decides to let them out. Well.... maybe not;)
Actually, I understand that they consistently come out around the 15th of the following month, for every month. I'm surprised you didn't know that Crazy Horse, Or did you......... |

How many people hunters do you see 2.5 miles back in during deer season?

RE: Penn License Sales-AUGUST 06
Last rifle season we got a fair amount of snow. I grabbed the snowshoes and headed back into some fields that no one in their right mind would trudge through the snow to hoping to catch a deer at some point in them. What I found was all the deer tracks I found were with in 200 yards of the road and cabins/houses I parked by. The farther back I got there wasn't tracks to be found. Snow less than 24hrs old if that.
I hunted the rest of the season closer to where I parked and saw deer. All SF land. |
RE: Penn License Sales-AUGUST 06
No need to be bitter about the matter. It's simple enough for Mr. Neville to post that answer if that is the case. I'm sure he's aware of this thread. I know that he has posted on other forums. By the way, how far do you venture from your car and the road to put up your tree stand and hang your pee bottle? Most bow hunters I know don't venture very far into the big woods, they generally hunt on private farms. In fact, I have to walk 2 1/2 miles into the game lands I hunt to get to the area I like togrouse hunt. I rarely see any bow hunters. In the last 4 years I haven't seen a soul. In the past when I came into the vacinity of a treed bow hunter he made sure I saw him and I politely circumvented him to put him at ease. Your full of smart a$$ remarks that have little substance. By the way, where did you arrow that buck in the photo? Was it in the big woods or some farmers woodlot, or a preserve? That buck was shot on private land in Illinois. Oh, andby the way, my favorite stand there is just under a mile from the truck. I expectAugust's figures on license sales to be less than 40% for residents. But as I said, the continual loss of 6% each year should be of considerable concern to the agency. Someone within the agency or some group of people should betasked to mend that loss. Perhaps Joe Naville will address that subject in the interim. I dont blame Joe Neville for not responding to you. You obviously arent looking for the information, you're looking for fodder for your USP spin machine. I'm sure that when the figures are available, Joe Neville will get them out quickly. I'm just as sure that he's well aware of this thread but Id bet he has probably heard this proverb: "Never try to teach a pig to sing, it merely frustrates you and annoys the pig." |

I grabbed the snowshoes and headed back into some fields that no one in their right mind would trudge through the snow to... I generally just go as far as needed to be amongst the deer, be it one hundred yards from the road, or a half mile. Even shot one from the back porch in doe season one year. Wasn't my fault they ran through the woods out back, when I'd come in for lunch, was it? Also picked off a few across the valley over a period of several years...rightfrom the dooryard, with a 25-06 andHarris bipod. Kinda gave that up, more fun to root 'em out and shoot 'em with an antique lever gun. As always, deer is where ya find them. |

RE: Penn License Sales-AUGUST 06
The "substance" of your posts has been that you hate the PGC. OK we get it! By the way, how far do you venture from your car and the road to put up your tree stand and hang your pee bottle? Most bow hunters I know don't venture very far into the big woods, they generally hunt on private farms Here's the actual quote I can't understand why you would be so upset about improving hunting opportunities and better habitat. Unless, you don't want us Grouse adn small gamehunters in your bow hunting woods. I think that's what is reallywhy you attack me for posting facts. You want the woods all to yourself. Isn't that reallyit "TRY?"Get the smallgame hunters out of your bow hunting area! What a riot!:D |
RE: Penn License Sales-AUGUST 06
In Pa, most of my remote hunting has been in the ANF and there are truly very few places where a hunter can get much more than 2 miles in but I did it all the time when I was healthy. I guess the nice bucks outside those remote places aren't really deer and hunting close to civilization aint really hunting. If that is the case I shouldn't really have to pay for it now either. |
RE: Penn License Sales-AUGUST 06
2 1/2 miles?????? I've never hunted that far!
Heck, the places I have permission to hunt, aren't that big. If I walked 2 1/2 miles I'd be on someone elses property. I'm lucky to go a couple hundred yards. Of course I hunt Greene county mostly. If you've ever hunted there, it is hilly with lots of fields and broken woodlots. I like hunting farms where the farmer has corn. Especially if it is the only cornfield around for several miles. Those cornfields draw in deer like a magnet. Then again, I'm not what you call a trophy hunter. |
RE: Penn License Sales-AUGUST 06
Isn't that the truth, I see he decided to turn his attacks on you BT. I think he also dislikes Bowhunters alot. He accused me in another post of being mad at grouse and small game hunters. Actually I think he's the one mad at Bowhunters for being in HIS woods. Sure get that impression from his posts. Whatever! He just wants to argue with someone and I'm sure he'll be coming back around and throwing more insults soon. Now to get back on the topic, I expect that we'll see the numbers this week. I would also expect that, regardless of Augusts numbers, another small drop in license sales for the year is possible. Not only because some casual hunters have gotten somewhat discouraged in seeing a few less deer. that may be a very small part of it.But more importantly, because the youth of our state and every other state is not taking the interest in any of the outdoor sports that the previous generation has. As older hunters retire from the sport, too few young hunters are taking their place. There are lots of reasons for this Over the years I've worked with youth as a JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery) coach,and currentlyas a Scoutmaster. Todays youth have many more demands on their time and I see many hunting parents who just don't take their kids with them. Our local sportsmans club has an annual youth field day and I have taken myscout troop it several times. It amazes me when the son of a hunter tells me that much of the day is packed with new experiences to him. The PGC has done some things to helpgive youth more opportunities but that will likely only help a little. We as hunters need to do everything we canto get our kids, the neighbors kids and anyone else we can interested in the outdoors. The sacrifice of some of our hunting time to help a youth will pay big dividends in the long run. |
