Mostly public land in 4A/5A through rifle season and did not shoot any deer. I am now 35 and have shot a buck in PA every year since I was 13. I know the season is not over with flintlock and second season archery but the deer numbers and hunter participation are definitely off. I hate all of the CWD tags that the PGC offered up to everyone for the taking. We have a cabin in 4A and all of these extra tags sure didn't help our deer herd. My son is a mentored youth and I constantly catch myself telling him how good it used to be. I would love to see the doe tag numbers cut back, get rid of the early muzzleloader season and have a three day doe season starting on the last Saturday of rifle season (concurrent with buck) and then going to doe only for Monday and Tuesday. I know many good hunters that did not fill tags in PA this year and struggled to even see deer in rifle season.
