The PGC was once thought one of the best game orgs if not the best and today they have lost the confidence of the back tag buyers. Why because of failed programs, out right lies, getting caught giving sweetheart retirement buy outs to each other,. Still hunters overlooked all of that until they feared getting sued over PaWilds and ordered the drop in deer numbers DCNR wanted. Those are facts not anecdotes! Many long time sportsman gave up the sport over them and would not give the PGC the spit it takes to wank off with.
Hear, hear. I left Pa 45 years ago, recently moved back. They have royally fugged up ALL Pa hunting, not just deer. I'm in Erie. A buck has to have 3 up, so essentially an 8 point. There flat out are not a lot of those on public land. I counted 2 on my game cameras, on the 1700 acres I hunt.
Sorry to hear that, travel east to the ANF and you will find plenty
