It's their job to manage them within the available habitat.
"We werent managing exclusively for deer but the deer numbers we had were not allowing anything resembling a balance. The overwhelming majority of deer ma
management professionals agree"
management professionals agree"
Then again, we can wait for the audit & see if former Pgc employees agrees with Pgcs policies i guess. lol.

BT,
I wonder if this pendullum ever swings back the other way to the point where we don't have this extreme biodiviristy driven agenda, if you are worried that you might have to make some personal sacrifices with your hunting. I can't help but wonder if you are worried that your hunting season may be shortened or if you are worried that you might be limited to shooting only one deer. Maybe you would even be worried that you would not be able to obtain a doe license. I can not help but wonder if you might not be as concerned about the welfare of our wildlife as much as you are concerned about your selfish interest.

I'm not arguing about the habitat or deer management practices on this thread.Is the hunting still good?Sure it is.I don't need to see loads of deer each time I hunt.Obviously many hunters expect to see loads of deer.It's a matter of perspective.I had an excellent hunting seson this year in 2G as I do most years.It isn't because I have better places to hunt than other hunters or that I'm any more skilled.I've just learned how to adapt and make the best out of it.I have no doubt that alot of hunters wouldn't find the way I hunt or the places I hunt any fun at all.My wife and I took a ride yesterday to look at some property.I showed her one of the places I walked up to hunt this year on Moshannon state forest.She was actually mad at me for making my one fat little buddy climb that ridge.

I'm a tweety bird watcher, but I never saw one of them new fangled red breasted trillium warblers. Next time you see one let me know and I will let all my Audubon friends know the location of this new species

Maybe I can help. I doubt Doug would mind since he sent me this photo.

Now if they weighed over 2,000 pounds that would be a TON of deer LOL!
