RE: PA Hunters...Would you>>>>>
I would not buy the extra tag. I'm a meat hunter and primarily take does. But I do see a lot of bucks and my party usually takes a few every season. So I have to ask a question, J Pike, why do you think it's impossible to harvest two bucks here in PA?

Why is it necessary to shoot a second buck? Why can't you be satisfied with one?

The reason the PGC. implemented AR. was so a smaller % of of buck population got harvested every year. If hunters in PA. were able to harvest a 2nd buck our antlered harvest #'s would sky rocket for a couple years then take sharp nose dive. Pike |

I am for one deer per person Period. one buck or one doe. And I would pay 100.00 for that one deer. But I dont hunt pa anymore and probably never will again. Just a waste of time sitting behind a tree for 3 months and seeing next to nothing. When I did see deer ,I felt so sorry looking at the tiny herd I leave them walk.But that doesnt work either cause the next guy who seen them shot them all.Then I goto west virginia and see 70.And shoot one and I am happy

Not in the current circumstances. If the herd was larger and oportunities greater, it is possible. DE had been operating this way for years, but there are stipulations on the second tag. A trophy tag that must have minmum 15" spread and atleast 7 points, I believe. A hundred dollars is a little steep. DE is cheaperI believe atleast for residents. In a larger herd, a few extra bucks is o.k. Speaking of the state in general terms, I'd have to say it's a bad idea right now. However I do believe we should raise the price of doe tags to near a hundred dollars......[:'(]

All of this is moot because a second buck tag is simply not a possibility in PA for the foreseeable future. Support for it would be very sparse from all fronts. JMHO

RE: PA Hunters...Would you>>>>>
No way. [:'(] The herd is already WAAAAAY over-exploited.

RE: PA Hunters...Would you>>>>>
As a non resident i would definately pay for the 2nd buck tag,,,and as a responsible hunter i would make the decision on whether i used it or not when the time arrives and what the circumstances are in my area and how i felt that day,,

RE: PA Hunters...Would you>>>>>
Its something I dont think pgc would ever be stupid enough to implement...Of course that MAY be giving too much credit these days?
A responsible management agency would see our buck numbers and quality are already a joke and wouldnt look to significantlyreduce both. They also would see that we have 900,000 plus hunters who only harvest 109-125k bucks, and wouldnt want to make even fewer of them successful by allowing some to take 2. |
