Anymore I'm not sure what works? In PA where they instituted the 3-4 pt restrictions have netted mixed results. First in the immediate short term we started to see more multiple point bucks, then they shot the heck out of the does and every hunter in the woods is shooting the barely legal bucks so how do you get the really big bucks? PA is a state that gets extreemly heavily hunted and now some 7 years later... we are seeing so few deer that some are looking to find new hunting grounds. In the early years 1970's we would see 20-40- deer per day of rifle season but low grade bucks, now 2-3 deer all week and very few bucks are taken/seen. Something has gone haywire and I'm still uncertain of what to do. I think all this deer management stuff better be well thought out or bad things will happen and it takes many years to correct. I'm all for fewer deer but quality racks, but something went to far????
