[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 1172145, member: 11837"] I must be crazy But anyone that thinks the best hunting in PA is NOW< has to be young! as they must not recall when PA was a top 10 pheasant state, tons of grouse and wookcock, rabbits every where deer every where access to hunt ever where Farmers that WORKED with the Game dept, and had co op farms PA WAS a hunting haven NOW< YES the antler restrictions have made for bigger bucks (older by default) BUT as for habitat, it sucks as to 20 yrs ago, DUE to the over browsing of forests by a deer heard left go out of control by the dept that was supposed to manage it! Pheasant are ALL but a lost cause in 95% of PA and again who was in charge of them?? HUMM game dept?? NO NOT if you ask them they blame the farmers for them going bye bye!! and we all know there are NO farmers in places like SD ND or other GREAT pheasant states SO< MUST be the farmers fault Grouse and woodcock?? HUMM< guess the forest habitat getting destroyed by them deer didn;'t effect them its all about seasonal rotations in numbers??(yeah right guess these seasons are many many yrs long LOL) take a LONG walk in the forests in PA when there is snow down and see how many signs of wildlife on the ground in the snow(tracks droppings??) FAR and few PA has the best chance at a BIG buck NOW< a BIG bear and a LOT of turkeys in MANY places rest of wildlife?? ain't NO where like it used to be, nor are the forest PA has the largest about of public hunting lands on the east coast they one of the largest budgets too if NOT the largest WHY have so many things went south??? I have my opinions all the more so when I hunt most of all the bordering state 's of PA< and see there game numbers increasing, and on a smaller budget too!! so, NO IMO< PA is NOT a hunters haven, minus, there is 4+ million acres of public access but if there isn't much there, it could be 10 million acres and what does that mean, taking a weapon for a long walk in the woods??? excessive amounts of access doesn't do you any good if there is POOR amounts of game on all them acres!
