RE: Hunters need to discern between fact, fiction in deer management debate
Lost Horn: the writer of this article you posted sure is mad, i agree with him. I went off to the Corps and there were enough deer around to hunt. when I get back 3 years later (this January) I have gone for several walks around my hunting area in the snow. Next to no tracks or sign. This is land adjacent to PGC land an unposted.
I too think way too many scribes want to sound the horn of the Game boys in Harrisburg without really knowing what is going on in the woods.

I find it funny how all these people complain that are not any deer and the PGC is killing them all off. The PGC has not done the killing. Other hunters, hunters just like all of us are the ones pulling the trigger. btw... took 4 deer last season.

I came home of leave in november and my brother in laws said go get a doe tags they got them for you yet. I said I don't want to be known as the guy that shoots the last doe in this county!

Why keep his name off? It's a letter for publication.

RE: Hunters need to discern between fact, fiction in deer management debate
when I was in the service my father bought me a subcription to GameNews by the PGC and sent it to me every month. I couldn't wait to get home an see all these big bucks the Gamenews articles says we are going to have now that the doe numbers are cutback.
came home and talked to all my neighbors at church each Sunday and all but one are now complaining there aren't enough deer and none of them shoot a big buck yet. Except the 1 man who ain't complaining, he shot a 8 pointer with a 14" rack.
That to me is not a reason enough to have next to no deer, 1 little scrub buck 8 pointer aint no fair trade.
I sent 3 letters to the Gameboys and not one answer have I got back, do they really care?

looks to me like t in pa 3 is trying his best to start a fight why else would he boast about killing 4 deers to someone that posts about lack of deers?
