We were happy until..................

lol

Zero bucks killed in PA…
It’s a shame…





Sure wish it was like the old days when 90% of bucks killed were 1.5 year olds.

Now zero deer get killed.

It’s a shame really.


And don’t get me started on those idiots letting folks start on a Saturday and being able to also hunt on Sundays.

They made it legal and are now forcing me to hunt on Saturday and Sunday for the opener.

Who said zero?

You know you're wrong when ya gotta lie

Correct, you said hardly anyone. I was using a little liberty with words.


So what’s that mean, only 175,000? Sounds like hardly anyone to me.

I guess that’s hardly anyone,

But it’s “propaganda” to you. Since that’s what the game commission reported. And they of course have a reason to lie about it.

lol

It isn’t always a grand conspiracy.

and you believe that, lol.


Gary Alt done run off before he got strung up by the natives.

lol, and he is a legend for it.

I do believe it, they have no reason to lie about it.

They have more things to do than lie to goofy hunters, it isn’t that big of a deal.



I’d come up and kill a deer and be happy. (I’m more of a turkey or waterfowl guy if I’m traveling though)


Still a great state to hunt. Really, it is. Even if it is filled with PA hunters.

lol.

No worries from me, you don't hunt near me going from your pics.

Correct, so no worries. And if I was near you, I’d help you drag yours out and then take you out for a drink to hear the story.

Agreed.I was hunting by myself at 12 years of age.Some laws are stupid.

My boys are finally old enough we fill the freezer with a few deer, a few elk, and a few antelope. I wish we had some pigs but I’m glad we don’t have pigs if you know what I mean.

My uncle many years ago shot an antlered doe. Thought he had a nice you buck until he turned it over to field dress and there were no boy parts.
He called the game warden and when they arrived they confirmed what he was seeing. He had an either or permit (buck or doe) and they had him tag it as a doe. Once field dressed and in his truck it looked like a long tall skinny young buck. But it was certainly unique.
It had a small but decent rack. He kept those antlers because hey who would believe him if he didn’t. He has plenty of pics of he and the game warden to accompany his “trophy rack.”

In Pennsylvania youth hunters are exempt from antler restrictions. A regulation I agree with 100%.

They are also working on making seniors exempt from them. That is something I also agree with, since I’m a senior hunter. LOL


I also agree that antler worshipers are not good for deer hunting in general.

This right here. Hate it and don’t really care where it has done much good.

Interesting.Here in Maine if the antlered does antler is at least 3 inches it gets tagged as a buck.

That's why WI has "Antlered" and "Antlerless" tags. Not buck or doe tags.

Since we get one tag and it’s bucks only, I would prefer to shoot the biggest bodied deer possible! If I could shoot a 250 lb doe or a big racked 175 lb buck, gimme the meat baby!! Happy trapping! ScottW

Buck every time.That doe can give birth to another buck

Bruce that reminds me,
I have an antique "no doe hunting"
sign here somewhere.
Avatar material for me online friends lol.

Way back I remember the doe wars in the UP with hunters coming in with doe tags the DNR was selling it was some serious tensions. Back then doe hunting was not a very popular thing it was something to fight about then.
