I was aware they did this and wish they would have done it Statewide and actually went back to 3 days after buck season. Just my thoughts. I could probably whack 30-40 easily in Allegheny County alone just during Archery.

I could probably whack 30-40 easily in Allegheny County alone just during Archery.


No Doubt ! Its pretty ironic that  in the early day's, a lot of hunters from Pittsburgh were coming up here to the north country to harvest their High Protein Speed Beef !! Now, Thanks to the brilliant deer management program the PGC has bestowed upon us, our deer populations have damn near dissapeared. There are more deer in Allegheny Co. than you can shake a stick at. Us northerner's need to go down there now. My Brother in Law lives in the Mt. Lebanon area and no kidding they had a doe give birth to a single fawn in there front lawn !! They have Vids and pics of it ! He says there are more deer there than he has seen in the last 3 yrs. of hunting up here. Some dandy bucks to boot too ! But the community won't let hunters come in to cull the herd. I don't feel that you can put all the blame on the PGC though. We fell into their trap. Who wouldnt get excited over being able to harvest more than one deer? We just couldnt stop ourselves. We should have seen it coming but we didnt. We fell victom to our own need and greed to be machco hunters. Now we sit the forest and bitch about only seeing 4 or so deer, sometimes in a weeks worth of hunting. And the antler restriction??? Dont get me started. I work, have 4 kids to run around to their activities. I'm sorry but I dont have the luxury of being able hunt every day of the season in the hopes of a legal buck walking up to within 25 yds of my tree stand and say SHOOT ME ! Anyone out there ever taste a good deer antler??????? We all love our steaks, burger, bolonga, meatsticks and jerky but I think its time we all do our part and self dicipline ourselves to go back to one harvest per hunter for a couple or three years. You would be amazed at the difference that would make. And it would make hunting more exciting for our youngsters, like it was for us when we were young. Sure was exciting to see deer wasnt it !!!!   Boy, that went further than I intended it to !! Good Luck to you all and be safe !

Status: offline 		For the Kids ! Thats what its all about ! Right on MuskyMastr !! My oldest 2 sons (Twins) just turned 16. I havnt harvested a deer in 4 years. I havnt carried a gun in that time either. We have no need to Harvest more than 2 deer a year so I let them do it. Theres not a better feeling than to be with your children when they harvest a deer. We share the meat with my aging Mother,who by the way can still cook up the best deer liver and onions. I purchase the doe lic but if one gets a buck first he is done. If one decides to take a doe first,he is done. I believe this has helped the deer herd in the area that we hunt in. In two years my 10 yr old daughter will be hunting and 2 yrs after that my now 8 yr old son will be 12 and he will be hunting. If we keep filling all our available tags now, there wont be any of those proud, joyous moments in the future.

Status: offline 		One is enough for my family. Anything above and beyond that i share with others. Its not my goal by any means to see how many i can kill. Id gladly go back to a one deer season. Thats pretty much how i roll anyhow.

My fiances dad claimed him and his wife could eat an entire deer in one week. I find that hard to believe. Between him and his boys they had 8 tags last year, not a single one got used.

This is a sad post , I hate to hear its brown its down, .That really makes you a hunter. I have a 4 year old, I hope there are a few left when he is old enough. If it was up to most of the people on this post there wont be. Dont get me wrong nothing wrong with shooting one to eat, But 5 or 6 come on!!!!

Status: offline 		I don't think it is sad if most of the meat gets used. Some folks even give it to the homeless through food donation programs.

A nearby family of 6 brothers and sisters I grew up within 1/4 mile of regularly took that many or more on better years. Money was tight and the butchering was done as a small gathering with a packing line, a skinner, and the kids got to wash off any hair left on the steaks. The best year was a doe season I remember there were 9 deer and our garage smelled rank for a few months. Bags were weighed and seperated equally if there were enough deer, didn't matter who got the heaviest one. Any grinding or sausage making was done on one's own behalf.

Neat thing was when we went over for dinner sometimes even into March, we were served meals with meat from those deer that we chipped in and got it all done as a group. Good times.

I do agree with JLH, shame to waste it.

Carroll and others in that area allow the taking of at least 12 or more deer. Some areas allow another buck tag only after shooting 2 more does; but it is darn near an unlimited kill area.I worked and hunted in Frederick Co. for 30 years. Shot-gun only is the law. Great bow hunting, if you can find some-one to allow you to hunt. Just like Pa. in a way; most areas that have a lot of deer are unhuntable or leased to a private club. While I was employed by Alcoa I had access to over 1,200 acres of prime farm land and ajoining wood-lots. Don't miss the work but I surely miss the hunting there.
