From What Ive heard From my States ever so wise, an all knowing Game Comission
, PA has the Most State Game lands out of all the States for Hunting. Theirs one bout 6 miles from my farm, Thats about say a bit over 13,000 acres. Not that Id want to hunt on the Game lands.
Those Deer are what they eat, an taste like Tree bark.
Problem is the First day was terrible Weather wise. It had rained Sunday, an then at night. stopped till about 9am the first day, then it rained the rest of the first day.
Drove off most of the Hunters, an stopped the deer from movin around. Pluss theirs been less hunters the past few years,, Ever since we went to War.
Me thinks their may be a conection there.
But the biggest problem was the States Game Commission Brilliant Idea of Expanding the Doe season, from the orginal 3 days, to the same two weeks as buck season a few years back. All in an effort to lower the deer population in the over crowded areas of the State.
Well that didnt work. They lowered the population in the Rural counties, an the More Urban areas stayed the same, Cause no Sane hunter wants to hunt in a place where everytime you lift your gun up you see a House, or have to use a Shotgun. Dang things are bout as usefull as a bow an a stick.
Its goten so bad the deer population in my County, that their were hunters this Year buying up all the doe, an bonus tags they could. Just to prevent anymore none local hunters from comin in an shooting anything without antlers that moved on four legs.
It use to be beautiful, Id look out my kitchen window at the end of the day this time of the year, an see 20 to 30 deer come out to eat, even during the deer season. Now Im lucky to see 6.
