Now don't be such a self centered, selfish individual. Thats the future of Pa. hunting you are talking about. :eek2:

Most if not all the hunters I know of who feel good about killing every doe they see don't read PGC propaganda, They don't even know what PGC stands for. All they want to know is how many tags they can get. As for 5C or any WMU, I always thought you can't manage the herd properly with such large WMUs. But I'am no expert.

I agree there are many hunters who only want to know how many tags they can get, but there are also those like DougE that support the PGC plan who thinks he is doing Gods work by killing all those doe.

I agree that if the PGC was really interested in managing the herd for hunting, smaller WMUs would be better. But ,since they are managing the herd for the timber industry , it doesn't matter how big the WMUs might be when they are issuing more tags than they did when we had 1.6M deer, compared to the around 900K deer we have now.

your view is what we agree with also.too many doe were killed off in clinton county,pa.we like AR but would like to see only kid at age 12 allowed to shoot a spike buck or buck without 3 point on side. after that 3 points to side.just to many adults shooting at ANY buck as long as kid 12/16 has tag.

also we would like to see 1 DEER AND YOUR DONE.
go back to 2 weeks of buck and 3 days of doe with county only system not the WMU2G thing .

also doe tags are just to cheap.they should be raised to at least 20 dollars.i spend that much on candy bars each month alone.

People with multiple tags popping multiple deer at one time, instead of harvesting one deer, field dressing and removing it. Then go back and hunt for more. Its easy to bash the Game Commision about no deer when a lot of the problems lie with hunters who won't follow the rules.

The landowner who lets me hunt there threw a guy off who hunted there for years because of shooting at more than one deer. First he shot at a deer in a safty zone, crippled it , it ran and lied down. He spotted more deer and started shooting not realizing there were houses in that direction. After he realized what he did he did he wanted to get out of there but the land owner hollered he had a wounded deer in here. Then he came for the deer with out his rifle and the deer took off. he never recovered the deer. If this fine Pa. hunter never kills another deer in his life I would be happy. If that makes me selfish and self centered than so be it.

It was real quite in 1B yesterday, very little shooting, even the doe slayers were finding the going tough.
I'm thinking we might have reached the point of stable deer numbers, I say that because we don't have enough hunters that are willing to kill what doe remain.
You would never believe it was the first Saturday of the firearms season.:s8:

But who was responsible for making that legal? The PGC ,of course. They were willing to do almost anything to get as many doe killed as possible as soon as possible. Now, in many areas its hard to find one adult doe!!
