I agree. I wonder how much longer he has to go until he does retire? Care to respond, D i c k?

Half or more of the BOC and the PGC staff will have died by then as well. Dumb comment.
Just remember that ...everyone here is becoming a little more irrelevant every day.

"Dumb comment"

Not really, if taken in the context in which Alt said it. He was responding to a question concerningthe inability of some to adapt to HR and concurrent seasons, IIRC?

Within the context which it belongs in, itprobably will taketime before somehunters get over losing the ability tokill spikes andget over being able to see lots of deer on opening day, like they once did. Some never will get over it, hence his comment about it never occuring until that generation that was used to something else, is gone.

Same with his comments about alpha hunters, that gotpeople all het up.

If we want to be honest, we all know some hunters that are muchbetter than we are, by virtue of their ability via acquired skills, time spent in preparation and theirconsistancy in finding deer and killing them on a regular basis.While some of usmight pretend we're the bestwe can be, most are just kidding themselves. I'll never be an alpha hunter, but still do the best I can each year and try to improve upon my meager abilities.

Some prefer to just ignore what he meant and would sooner run their jibbers about the "awful" things Alt said.

Denny as usual is full of beans. What Alt meant was a whole generation would have to die off before they could take the herd even far lower than it was at the time + get funding unconditionally without hunters throwing a monkey wrench into their master plan or petitioning legislators or complaining loudly etc. He didnt simply mean so "hunters could get used to the system and have better hunting!" Lmao!! He couldnt have given a rats arse less about hunters. He also said we needed ALTERNATE FUNDING to really get the job done without interference. Some how Im guessing that had nothing to do with his concern over hunter satisfaction ! (LOL)(LOL)

Denny where the hell do you come up with your nonsense? Ive heard others call you a pgc brownnoser on many occassions, but my god man, that thing outta be BLACK by now! LOL. SHEEESH!!

No, but in April we have fast approaching "allocation announcement day". The day when pgc pulls their head out of the butt, sees their shadow and tells us there will be another year of slaughter.

There is no question about what Alt meant. He meant to insult,belittle and denigrate the hunting ability of the average PA hunter, even though we are so efficient that we killed 80% of our preseason buck each year , prior to ARs.

I do wish they would cut way back on doe tags But from the looks around my house depending on fawns in the spring i see about 5 doe meeting the grim reaper

May have to amend my "no does with scoped rifles" qualifier of the past 6 or 7 years and just shoot one when it's handy next fall? Either that or quit carrying a scoped rifle the first few days and tote one of my antique lever rifles instead, when there are typicially does close at hand.

Couldn't have taken a doe during the first trip to camp in archery season last year. Left my doe tags at home.

Since Denny blindly supports the PGC HR plan, I wonder why he hasn't been doing his part to reduce the herd in the area where he hunts. Is there a word that applies to guys like that?

Hypocrite?....

Then again maybe he's just a poor hunter and not hunting long enough or going back in far enough?
