[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 892775, member: 12443"] it would be difficult to please everybody for sure. this was my 66th year hunting the north central region. untill the mid fiftys we had a camp in what is now the quehanna wilderness area. our present camp adjoins that area. hunters here have been complaining about deer herd reduction for at least 25 years. there is no doubt the pgc has had a long range plan for this area for decades. that plan revolves around the elk herd. there are far more elk here than the pgc will admitt to. they have produced large food plots thru out the region here for the elk. something they refused to do years back. part of the problem also is the legnth of the seasons or the ammount of them. archery hunters have about a 6 week season which for the most part takes place before the rut. now theres cross bows which have increased the number of archery hunters considerably. lets be perfectly honest here. how many hunters fill a tag with a bow and put it back on a rifle killed buck? i can tell you there are lots of them. could the pgc control that? you bet they could but they choose not to. and hunters choose not to also. one deer and your done was the rule when i started and there were lots of deer. as for the antler restrictions i personaly like them as there seems little doubt rack sizes have improved. you want meat shoot a doe and go home.
