RE: PA antler restriction
 

Lets look at it another way. Archery hunters number about one third of PA's total hunter numbers but they harvest only about 15-18% of the deer.
Can you tell us where you got the 15-18% figure . The data I have shows that in 2007 archers harvested 19% of the total harvest. Furthermore, you conveniently left out the fact that archers harvested harvest 25% of the buck harvest, because it didn't fit your agenda. What is even more revealing is that in 2B and 5C archers harvested more buck than were harvested during the concurrent season.

I don't believe the SR areas are relevant. The harvest in those areas comes from safety zones where agun hunter would not be permitted to hunt anyway. That negates it from the discussion.

WMU 5C is not an SRA , although Chester and Bucks are SRA counties.
And you have absolutely nothing to support you claim that most of the archery harvest comes from safety zones. You just keep making up stories to support your agenda.

Thanks Greg. Couldn't have said it any better myself.

As for Deaddeers 19% figure, I chose to take the harvests over the last several years. not the one year when the gun opener had the worst hunting weather we had in decadesbut, OK, lets use his 19% number.It took him the best part of a day to find this one little "fact"so he could discredit my post so lets let him use it.It doesn't change the theme of my post one little bit

Nope nothing but good old common sense that would simply conclude that urban WMU's will have areas where archery is the only viable method of hunting

How about that Greg! now we gotta have proof to back up common sense so that those without it will believe us

It did in fact pour buckets the first two days, and even on one Saturday I believe, last season.
Not that Beenthere would know. He probably was logged on here the whole time, wondering where you were.;)

Wrong again ! I was out all day except for a lunch break and I didn't even get wet. It was an interesting day watching the birds at the feeder but the only deer I say was a y buck.

BT and others are concerned abott the PGC shortening the archery season if X-bows are permitted ,but it didn't happen in 5C and 2B where archers harvest 50% of the buck harvest before the rut,while passing on more than twice as many antlerless.

You may want to rewrite your post. If you were out hunting all day and watching a feeder you might just run into a problem with the law
