But hunters are very diverse group and everyone has their own ideas of when to play their hand. We have archers that don't want x-bows, young hunters that want big buck, older hunters that are satisfied with any buck but have a hard time seeing brow tines, we have camp owners , private land owners and guys that only hunt SGLs or SFL. We have meat hunters and trophy hunters,ethical hunters and slobs, guys that know how many deer are in the area and guys that don't have a clue.

I doubt we will ever agree when to play our hand as a unified group of hunters.

Hmmm...

First, we have this quote from our very own PA Game Commission WCO R.S. Bodenhorn.

Then we have this quote from the anti's, "PA Wildlife Alliance".

Does anybody else but me see any similarities? What are we supposed to think, D i c k?

the PGC has blame in this too.

they allow killing of little cub bears.

they allowed overkilling of doe in areas that could possibly hold more deer,like 12 dpsm in wmu2g but areas show about 4 deer.

then they allow more weapons like crossbows to be used to kill more doe,in-lines in oct to kill more.long doe hunting seasons with better weapons,on and on.

its no wonder that groups like this pop up,PGC is causing a lot of it to happen.meat hunters too.

i get so mad at times over doe killing that i get those feeling at times too, i want it to stop in areas of few doe left.

i dont shoot a doe because i feel that we are acting crazy to shoot off what deer are left in areas with few doe.

hunters are ruining their sport, it will not be antis that do it.......

You seem to think everyone should wait awhile and see how the corssbow issue unfolds.

Hmmmmmm.......maybe you should wait a few more years and see how the Herd Reduction unfolds.

You, me, bluebird and lots and lots of other folks think things went way too far with HR.

When people work together, that means everyone has input and a solution is reached. That is the problem in a nutshell. The PGC calls the shots and ignores input from hunters. (Hint...Hint...Crossbows weren't even discussed to get hunter's input)

People think we should just shut up and let the PGC do whatever. BUT...that is not what working together is all about.


People find a few deer, in hard hit areas and as long as hunting is good for them, screw everyone else. They blame hunters for not hunting hard enough or getting into more remote areas.

When you think about it, they are actually admiting that hunting really does suck everywhere else or they wouldn't be advising hunters to search out those remote areas.


If there were plenty of deer there'd be no need to get back in those places.

Why is HR being implemented in the South Western part of PA? We don't have a regeneration problem.

With all the logging and timbering going on all around where I live, deer will always have a place to go.

Its all about money.

The "work together" mantra is a liberal tactic, a PR move. What they really mean is "You shut up and go along with what we want to do, in the spirit of working together, and if you don't, then you are to blame for all that happens either way."
The new PREZ is using the same crap right now. The Republicans aren't buying his bucket of dung though.
