Why is the herd so pathetic?   The agenda of a few environmental extremists dictating our direction.   This has been well documented by an independent biologist supported by the states largest sportsmen group. http://www.acsl-pa.org/index.htm Of course those numbers as an “average” dont look bad, they are grouped in with years of a billion doe tags and a much larger herd in the process of being reduced!!  Look where the harvest is now…  A paltry 108 to 122k buck harvest.   Lowest numbers in 50 years is what we have recently realized.   All for the environmentalist and timber agendas.  And so what if the harvest increase in 2009,   The previous year was the worst of the ten others listed!

When will it end?

Gona-con is a newly approved by epa formulation that antis are pushing very hard to be accepted by states management agencies. Pa Game Commission is the only one Im aware of that has given favorable commentary and has said they will support and permit rigorous real world testing in state. Information can be seen on their website under "Fall deer chronicle". Their cyber periodical that has so much b.s. that it isnt fitten for outhouse fodder.

THOSE NUMBERS ARE TOTAL HARVEST NUMBERS. THE GAME COMMISSION USES BUCK HARVEST NUMBER TRENDS TO DETERMINE HERD CHANGES BECAUSE DO TAGS NUMBERS CAN CHANGE. BUCK HARVEST DROPPED FROM OVER 200,000 BUCK DOWN TO 109-120K RANGE. THE REST OF THE NUMBERS IN THE ABOVE IN THE ARTICLE ARE ANTLERLESS. REASON THE HARVESTS ARE STILL WITHIN 'AVERAGES' OVERALL, THAT IS DUE TO HUGE NUMBERS OF INCREASE DOE TAGS IN URBAN AREAS. ONE AREA ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF 2.5 COUNTIES ALONE HAS OVER 100,000 ANTLERLESS TAGS CURRENTLY. ASIDE FROM THESE URBAN AREAS THAT CONTAIN MANY OFF LIMITS AREAS THAT ACT AS "DEER FACTORIES" THE REST OF THE STATE IS ABYSMAL. PA HAS BECOME A JOKE. THE NUMBERS POSTED ABOVE ARE VERY MISLEADING.

In fact in my area of pennsylvania it didnt rain at all. Only in 2007. Didnt really matter, because it was only one day and ehd also wiped out the herd in some areas. And with no excuses the harvest was still pathetic in 2008. It didnt rain the first few days. In fact in my area of pennsylvania it didnt rain at all. Only in 2007.

Excuse me,it poured. But I will put money on it the deer numbers will be down this year quite a bit. Also if you look at the numbers , Doe harvest took a major drop in harvest numbers. Again it was because of bad weather why the numbers was down. Again look at the doe harvest numbers. Don't let that 4% and PGC BS you that the numbers are going up.
