Here is my 3 cents from PA. The PA Game Commission has been backing off on doe tags and hunt time in my area for the last two years. I hunt public land and see almost no other hunters, even the first day. Unheard of 20 years ago. With almost no hunting pressure the deer population should be out of hand. Not. The only good thing is if you do see a deer, it will almost certainly be a buck because the herd is so out of wack in this area now.
