i have been saying and many have tried to shut ole sproul up,but today in sun gazzette a local lycoming co. wco told it like it is..

see if you can get copy of paper...

he stated that groups of hunters he arrested were using KIDS tags and WIVES tags with kids along on hunt..
he was disturbed at what that was teaching kids..
they got their doe and shot more and tagged it with others tags...

i said this from start that horn rerstriction for kids here in pa. was just another way for adults to put venision in freezer...

it should have been 3 points for everyone,kids adults, wives,hadicaped etc...no exceptions....
do you think this type of hunters look to see if a deer has 3 points when they have kids tags in their pocket...

i was at wal-mart and overheard 2 girls say this to their dad,DAD SAID, SIGN IT,1 GIRL 12 YRS OLD SAID, THIS IS STUPID, I AINT GOING HUNTING ANYHOW.....
he said SIGN IT.....
is this going on a lot, YOU BET IT IS.....

i am so glad that a WCO of state of pa. finally had the guts to speak truth of what he is seeing here....

now, question is, how are we sportsman who go by law going to get this stopped..
i have news for you, these are not allBUMS that are doing this, many are hunting club members, good citizens in area, go to church,spend time with kids,belong to organizations.....

this is what makes it so difficult to stop..

prices of meat at store is awful this year, so, i expect this to run RAMPANT here in state of pa....

people have not followed laws in this state for a long time. It's sad really. Even back before AR's guys wives, moms, and aunts all had hunting licenses. It is absolutely pathetic that a grown person wants to shoot a tiny little buck so bad that they would cheat like that, but that is PA for you.The part that bums me out is that its socially accepted too. I know several non hunters who ask me if I get a tag for my girlfriend, actually they just assumed I did because every hunter they know does.

Good for them....i believe it should be the same restrictions for everyone......

we hada handicap hunter, which was permitted to have his atv for access while hunting, turns out that he was having his kids run through the woods just a couple of weeks ago, they'd spook the deer towards him, he'd shoot the deer and take it home because he lived next to the land he was poaching....luckily the GW is new and full of himself(which is good), he got a great bust....everywhere you go , folks are abusing the system.....and they're getting the kids involved, teaching them real good habits there huh.....

i am feeling better that most of you share my views on this....

sadly, i wish i had answer to it..

i just cant understand whypeople have to have meat so bad that they do this....

iknow person who shot a lot of grouse a few years ago,like 37 or so...

he rode hunts everyday..
he was bragging about the grouse he got and all meat..
i said, gasoline you spent you could have bought 100 turkeys at store...

this is thinking that we are all up against....

then i had elderly friend who left a 5 point go because he could not see that 1 horn was inch long..
right in front of him, bang..adult shot buck..my friend walked to buck and said to other hunter,how could you see that buck was legal..

he said,OH MY KID SHOT THAT BUCK NOT ME,he went to truck to get his rope.. he did not even know it was legal..
he then went to truck and got his son and then tagged it....

this is why that 3 point to siide should be for everyone,only way to stop this maddness............
