...and ya cant count if ya wanna get a shot in our mt. laurel filled woods. I would have to say thats a good thing, it forces you to take better shots anyhow. Also, it keeps the slob hunters from using their most famous quote "if it's brown it's down."

Thats funny. Just happened to be in Somerset County this past weekend. Took a 3 mile ride at dusk and saw 23 deer. If this is your last year to hunt, more deer for the rest of us that like to hunt. Don't look back.

I agree that there are too many deer some places and think that there are too few in others.
Example. The stated goal for the KQDC in McKean county was originally 23 DPSM. Two years into a 5 year program that goal was changed to 17.5 DPSM. Now for the past two years pellet counts (don't get me started on the validity) indicated 11.5 dpsm. So why the continued dmap allocations and minor reduction in tags?
Better too far back, than too far forward.

Because they are almost to the number where natural mortality and predators will keep the herd in the single digits WITHOUT hunter participation. I believe their 2006 survey showed a negative fawn recruitment so any hunter killed deer will continue to reduce the herd below the 11.5 number.

S-10 wrote ----- Because they are almost to the number where natural mortality and predators will keep the herd in the single digits WITHOUT hunter participation. I believe their 2006 survey showed a negative fawn recruitment I believe this shows that studies have proven that line of thinking is WRONG.. plus about 20% of our herd dies from all sources other than hunting.. 20% will not be enough to keep sinlge digit herds without hunting.. deer hunting is alive and well and will be forever here in Pa.. The effects of deer density on recruitment, however, generally are much more apparent. Fawn recruitment rates are maximized at low population densities, but recruitment begins to decline when the amount of food available to each deer is not sufficient, which causes them to compete for food. Poor food availability reduces fawn recruitment rates because the lactating doe may not be able to adequately supply milk to her fawn. In addition, predation rates may be greater with high deer densities because predators develop a "search image" for newborn fawns and focus much of their efforts on preying upon fawns. To summarize, recruitment rates are highest when deer numbers are low, and recruitment rates begin to decline when the deer herd begins to compete for a fixed amount of resources. When a deer population is at its biological carrying capacity, the deer density also may be at its highest but recruitment of fawns will be at its lowest. To maintain a population at a particular level, the same number of deer recruited into a population also must be removed by hunting and natural mortality. The population will decrease if the number of deer that die exceeds the number of deer recruited into the population. Conversely, the population will increase if fawn recruitment exceeds the number of deer that die. The result of low fawn recruitment means that fewer bucks and does can be harvested when populations are high or near biological carrying capacity.

you couldnt drag a deer with a truck much less operate a firearm. the deer are in the woods. you have to find them. they dont like to get shot. government already feeds you and stealys 3 meals a day with your welfare checks. get jobs.

Doc-- You better read the 2006 report from the Kinzua Quality Deer Management. Their studies showed just the opposite. Besides, non hunter deer mortality is directly related to predators in the study area and in Penna there is a INCREASE in both coyotes and bear in the state.

never said everybody was on welfare. you and stealys admitted you are. able-bodied deadbeats like yourselves are a major problem in this country. hopefully the next presidential regime will get deadbeats like yourselves working instead of collecting. by the way i'm sucking down a coca-cola as i type. stop by old fella and i'll buy you one  .

Peacy, you shouldn't have said you would be a poacher. That is just wrong. Unless our economic system crashes, then it would be OK to put food on the table for your family. Please apologize.

Your a sad case Peacy. Life must really be bad for you.
I guess priorities are really not in order for you. It's probably best this is your last year to hunt by the laws definition.
But will that stop you?

Do you think it's wise to admit that you are a poacher on a public forum? Aren't you worried that someone you know might turn you in?
