Deer in 2F ===

What age group were the 30 guys ?

A senior should honor all regs same as everyone else

The number of senior deer hunters has been steadily declining. The loss of these veteran hunters does not bode well for the sport or the PGC, and can be avoided.
....................
This situation could be remedied by putting senior hunters in the same category as junior hunters regarding antler restriction. This would do much to retain these veteran deer hunters in our ranks. Senior hunters have endured the rigors of life, been loyal and paid their dues to the sport. It is fitting that they be accorded this consideration.

How can they vote on state wide when I,m betting they are not from state wide area's or have hunted them?

Warsaw Sportsmen’s Association
The Warsaw Sportsmen’s Association was founded in
1960 on Williams Road in Jefferson County, about half way between the
towns of Brookville and Brockway. Initially, the club focused on raising
young pheasants to be released for local hunters. In the 1970’s, they
were among the first in the state to use limestone to help neutralize the
acidity of a local trout stream. The club is currently involved
in programs that will sustain the precious resources of the
Commonwealth, and educate our youth about conservation. They are
involved in the Adopt-A-Highway program, and provide a free meal to
volunteers following a highway clean-up. They’ve placed 55 gallon
drums along a local trout stream for anglers to throw their trash in while
fishing. Warsaw’s members also help stock the stream and others in
the area with buckets and floats. The club holds several turkey shoots in
the spring and several more in the fall.
Like most others, the members of Warsaw recognize that interest in
hunting and fishing are declining, so
they are taking steps to recruit new members to our way of life. The
Warsaw Township Sportsmen’s Association has been involved in
trying to get youth interested in hunting and fishing for over 20 years.
Additionally, the club helps sponsor the Jefferson County Youth Field
Days, and has been holding Hunter Education Classes for over 20 years.
This year they were surprised by the over whelming interest in their
Hunter Education class; they actually had to schedule a second class for
November 21-22. This was the first time a second class was needed to
get all the interested youth trained.
The classes are held at the club, and the club and volunteers serve a free
meal to everyone who attends each session.
While the club is small, the work they undertake is not. Their
dedicated and selfless volunteers work tirelessly to promote our
outdoor heritage and keep our youth interested in the outdoor sports.
Warsaw Sportsmen’s business meetings are on the 1st Wednesday
of each month and another meeting is held on the 3rd Wednesday.
Thesecond meeting is dedicated to topics related to hunting, fishing,
and other outdoor activities and issues.
Meetings always start at 8:00p.m.
All are welcome to attend.

Just misguided about the deer..WF

Doc, your club is way above average. 80% success is way higher than the statewide numbers. No wonder they are happy the way it is now. Congrats to all the successful hunters there. Still, the # of bucks taken this year and the frequency of the hunters killing bucks may tell a different story...WF

Do you ban members if they don't fully agree with the persons mentioned above?
