In the end
it's plain old psychology. I don't care if it's thirty deer, twenty deer or ten deer. I only have to shoot one Buck.
And some hunters will, perhaps forever, be at a disadvantage, when they don't see those thirty five deer in every square mile.

Could be the first time in history that a wildlife agency worked to eliminate themselves!! NO DEER, no need to have wildlife experts..they need accountants and layers for the gas, oil, and timber management.. what an amazing turn of events to say the least!!

yes ,you are right.they will expand into OTHER things.like study of bat or bug or another predator to kill rabbits and squirreals etc.add a few more clipboards and company vehicle that gets 10 to gallon with air conditioner on ,they will be all set.........

I still think that the number of hunters are going to fall off due to the changes in the forth coming seasons. Many of the WMA's, you have to wait until the first Saturday to shoot a doe (if you desire). For those who only get one or two days off for deer season, they may give it up or stay in camp for the card games. I just hope that everyone here remembers; hunting is a choice that each one of us makes. It should not be decided by the technique, style of hunting, choice of weapon or the license that hangs on our back. If you or anyone chooses not to hunt a doe, that is your decision and ethical hunting rules should apply to the sport.

To anyone who is frustrated seeing a lack of deer in their area....PLEASE come to suburbia and help...There's way to many deer in these areas...Hunting permission is hard to come by, but if you use a bow you'll have better odds.

The days of seeing 50+ deer/day are over and that's for the best.As for NO DEER,that's just funny.

The counties with the lowest deer populations also have the worst habitat.There's no valid reason to add more deer to habitat that's poor.The PGC did exactly what needed to be done.
