[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1720049, member: 12443"] Exactly, these are the same species found in the west in places like Yellowstone, where in past decades we had to travel in order to see them. The part that irks me and many others however is that 40 years ago the PGC rammed down our throats that the more remote NC area of PA could no longer sustain the large deer numbers due to the aging of the forest. When asked why food plots couldn’t be created by utilizing the many miles of gas pipelines and power lines, we were told it would be cost prohibitive. But in fact the real truth was they had other plans, like enlarging the elk herd. And that also required gating off of all back roads but the main ones for vehicle access by hunters. Today, there are also numerous man made food plots. Of coarse it did have a positive affect on the non hunter tourist industry, but mainly they are directed into just certain selected areas. I feel the downsizing of the deer herd in order to increase the size of the Elk herd, has played a larger roll in reducing hunter numbers in that region than the PGC is willing to admit. [/QUOTE]
