Doug's what makes you think only hunters whom did not kill a deer complain to their Legislator?
I killed a buck every year since 1967 right here in Pa. an the last 40 straight were with a bow, I quit killing does with the exception of once in a while if my venison sausage is running low. I kill them on land I own and manage for wild game. Mine son has about a 20 year streak of bucks and does too.
I got no problem with a rate hike provided the money is used for game management and not pension or medical benefits.
I pay around $2000 each year to buy hunting tags in other states why would I mind $40 in Pa.?
