1-make everyone over the age of 70 retire
2-stop the doe killing let the kids do the doe killing
3-take long walks in the mountains and see how many deer you see

That's odd. The person that I'm talking about posts over on the campfire forum andhas posts appearing there as recently as yesterday. I think you may be confused.[:'(]

My Christmas present to the Mods here and elsewhere!


3. Immediately implement a plan tosurvey hunters both via the PGC Web site and by yearly surveys sent out with hunting licenses. Actively solicit on-line comments to any and all future proposed regulation changes. Provide a direct link on the main page of the PGC website to summaries of all of these results.

2. Answer all email inquiries to the agency with something other than a %$&*#*ing canned response, must be minimally one person assigned to this task and that can do proper research into and/or forward/assign inquiries to appropriate individuals within the agency for an answeras well asbe the central point of response to the hunters with detailedanswers.

1. Do someserious, detailed,and immediate research into how some other states (similar in physical size) are able to runtheir agencies with less resources and bellyaching from their hunters.

shump,your #1 sorta woke me up, looks to me you have never set around a big table up at hunting camp and enjoyed stories from long ago from your dad your grandpaw in some cases your great grandpaw. Those stories is what makes hunting camp, if I were you I would think #1 over.
As for #2 and #3 I don't see a problem with them.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

not the hunter over 70.the ones that work for pgc

1. Mandatory check stations/increased penalty for non compliance.
2. Smaller management units.
3. CAC's.

300k+ deer in rifle season alone. I would like to have my deer in the freezer before a month after I killed it. It will be infested with maggots if they was to do this. Impossible to do in a reasonable time for all the info that needs written down.To much money involved for an operation like this.

I like the idea, but it would be costly. How about a voucher system? If you don't send a harvest card or report online, you don't get a license the following year or you pay an added cost for the license without the voucher. Could that work?

Check stations are a viable method of record in many states. You don't need a Game warden to man a check station. N.J has check stations all over the place. Gas stations, general stores etc. Remember, your not looking to fine or cite anyone, simply record type of deer (Male/Female), county where killed, Antler count, date of kill, etc.

Other states do it rather effectivly. Why can't Pennsylvania? Or is it because the agency doesn't want an accurate count???

It really aint no big deal, We shot, checked and drove home from Ohio with no maggots, imagine that! There are drawbacks but it seems pretty accurate regaurdless what others say.
