The numbers of license sales often changes the situation
.Pa used to sell around 900,000 before antler restrictions and their war on Does. Now it is more like 700,000
Something obviously isn’t working. Which depends on their goal. Which is to increase stick hunting, while weeding out the rifle shooters who are fed up with increasing posted land.
They are on a path to ruin the Pa Deer hunting tradition for the future. Kids are not going to tolerate busting ass to see a couple Deer, then not being able to shoot because it doesn’t have enough points. At least antler restrictions here do not apply to youth hunters. They are exempt from the 4 points to a side rule.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Everyone has become a trophy hunter. Those old Bill Jordan shows were classic hunting then it got crazy with the hunting industry. There used to be a select few who hunted and did it for pure enjoyment. I remember back in the mid 90s listening to the cowboys and packers on a Walkman radio while waiting for a deer. Now it's cornpiles and cash. Whoever has the most ground, which no you prolly have to own it, and the fattest checkbook normally get the biggest buck. It's what it has come to. Hard way, easy way, any way, what ever gets you in the deer woods I guess. But the boasting of inches I'm sure everyone is guilty of, including me. But that meat taste better with an open sighted rifle or a recurve without the aid of wheels on a bow or a corn pile. Just my opinion.
