PA Rifle deer Season opens Monday, November 28, 2011

[Adam Helmer]

I was afield at 0600 Opening Day of the PA rifle deer season. At 0700 I saw a 4-point buck walk past my stand. At 0715 I saw a big doe walk past my stand. BOTH deer still can call this farm home. I have NEVER seen the BIG BUCKS Alt told us in 2001 that we would see IF we adopted his deer kill program. PGC "Stayed the Course" after Alt left and PGC continued to kill deer. WALLA! we had NO MORE oak tree regeneration and JUST Fewer deer.

I do NOT shoot uninjured does. All the FOOLS wot shoot does are KILLING THREE deer, but those NUMB NUTS CANNOT Do The Math! If we have a "Poor" buck to doe ratio, I advised PGC to stop Archers killing 30,000 BUCKS Pre-rut! That suggestion was apparently TOO CEREBRAL for the Pennsylvania Game Comission! Alt DID have 2 years of NO bear hunting and then a ONE-DAY and a TWO-Day bear season to allow the bear population to RECOVER. WHY cannot PGC give the PA deer the SAME Consideration? PA deer have ALWAYS done well BEFORE PGC DECIMATION!
