Help me make a decision

I'm thinking about getting back into hunting .... DO you think its worth it?

Please Helpa

Lots of squirrels out there to shoot...WF

Just dont let it have precedence over your fishing like it has done to me :)

NO, hunting is not once what it used to be. Everyone is competing against one another. Iternet forums have become battle grounds and the PGC has become one of the worst game agency's we've seen in decades as far as being greedy and managing game. License sales are decreasing and will continue. If you have other interests that you enjoy in the outdoors other than hunting by all means go after them and enjoy. Our hunting world is changing and not for the better.

You know Skip it would be another reason to go to camp.

Mabee a Squirrel derby in the making ???

Absolutely it is worth getting back into hunting if you have an interest and truly want to enjoy hunting.
 
Don’t pay any attention to the losers that post all the negative nonsense on this web site. I have to suspect a fair percentage of them are actually anti-hunters that jump around infiltrating hunting web sites just to cause as much damage to both hunting and wildlife management as possible.
 
There are many great hunters and conservationists within the hunter ranks of this state, though perhaps not so much on this web site. If you seek out some of the ones with a positive attitude you can have the best days of your life as a hunter. You can also find as much success in hunting as you are willing to put into it provided you actually want to find success.

The latest location is outside Erie.

Are you referring to me as a looser because I sometimes post negative posts about hunting ? The sport has been though major changes over the years and coming from a WCO what else could you say but yes ? In the future only th rich will have the best opportunity and odds to kill trophy game in Pa. It's already happening now .

 
Some of the best bucks in the state are being harvested on public lands where anyone can hunt for just the price of a hunting license.
 
If my other comments are a shoe that you feel fits you then you can wear it, if it doesn’t fit then you should just leave it alone.

I'd go for it, just dont set the bar too high. And ya count 3 up top

Just to keep things in realistic perspective here, the HUGE majority of "trophy" bucks are taken on private lands. The biggest contributor to the record books wmu-wise is 2b with the smallest amount of public land and the highest amount of highly restricted and off limits lands.

You got it wayne ! It didn't really expect RSB to agree with me. If he did his superiors would have to set him down and have a talk with him. You all realize it his job to agree with the Commission and support them as it's jobs like his he is protecting. Some folks feet fit their shoes perfectly and some fit their mouths perfectly also.

So, we, who are license buying hunters in PA, are now losers in addition to being goons, thugs, and not good guys and in your opinion are anti-hunters as well.
 
Do your superiors know just how wonderful of a job of customer, because that is who we are, relations you are providing?
 
Maybe it is about time they found out.

With posts like this it is not hard to understand why so many hunters despise the PGC.  
 
I had generally been supportive of the PGC in the past, but lately I find myself to be on the fence more so now than ever.  Posts such as this and others by you (a representative of the PGC) have undoubtedly been contributing to my shift in position.  The arrogant and condescending nature of your posts has instilled more negativity on this site than you seem to realize.
