After 56 PA deer seasons my better days are behind me. Recall in the 60’s and 70’s when one deer of either sex was it for the season. One could count 200 shots by 9am on opening day and strings of 15-20 doe (hopefully followed by a buck) were the order of the day. Still get out almost every day hoping to cross paths with a slammer, but my priorities have changed. These days go because it’s what I’ve always done, get the exercise and enjoy the woods. Killing a deer is near the bottom of the list (actually feel sorry for the deer). Visit one of the PA forums regularly and it’s humorous to read about some people complaining that there are no deer in the woods and others bragging about shooting a second or third doe ‘for the freezer’.
For what it’s worth, my votes on the issues:
Change opening day, nay
Semi-autos, yay (not really a major issue to me though)
Hunting on Sundays, yay
