I would like to think so, but its a LONG ways off, too many generations of hunters here have the Kill it now, as won't be here next yr, and there the reason its NOT there the next yr and they don't get it?>
same guys cry about NO deer in there area and shoot every one they DO see, then complain again about NO deer being there
its LIKE< well STOP shooting deer there and next yr there will be more?, same with bucks, let them small one's go and Next yr there will be bigger
they just don't get it!
we have generations of meat hunters here, and poachers too, sad
when I had my gun store, it was like 70% of the hunters were proud of telling me how they cheat?, made me hunt out of state a lot LOL, still rather hunt other states than here in PA< hell last yr I didn't even hunt in my home state, for many reasons NOT just this!
I again admit, the odds of getting a big buck in PA< are higher now than in its history, so don't want to sound like it totally bad!
the antler restriction has helped a LOT, its just a slow progress, still in the works! IMO
