Had another Cousin in Armstrong that was a fur buyer back in the late 70's, 80's when there was more Deer than needed. However, when the GC was reporting a Doe kill of I think around 4000 they were so far off it wasn't funny. He himself would buy 4000 plus hides that came out of Armstrong alone. Not counting what he bought from other counties nor including hides other buyers bought out of Armstrong that he didn't get.
Pa hunters have never been all that great in allowing the GC to come close in arriving at an accurate report of the actual kill. We expect them to do right by us, yet many are not willing to reciprocate.
Then IMO the illegal kill is bigger than most think. I'm fairly sure of it, and it isn't the city boys.
