Shortage of deer in PA?

[PA Hunter]

You are right on Adam, on our cabin outside Wellsboro Tioga County in the 80's there were deer everywhere.

Last two years first two days opening buck I saw 0 deer and about 6 bear total. I did also see two Bob Cats very few deer sign and this is on private prioperty. Also hardly any shooting. When you observe the deer on the trucks I usually see more doe than buck. So therefore how many shots you hear are actually buck or doe?

I just think they should curb the doe slaughter a little, especially in the big wood counties. I would hate to see the deer hunting really turn south like the small game hunting did for my children.
