Hey folks, ....just wanted to give everyone a heads up about a new sweepstakes at www.realscent.com every $40.00 purchase makes you eligible for some great stuff,...just our way of saying thanks to all of you for all your support,......It won't be long now, we'll be looking at pictures of all those big bucks. Pat

Here, Here,...........well said.

Hey Strut,....I'm proud to be from the great state of Pennsylvania,...have been my whole life,...I was part of the problem for MANY,MANY years in PA,....now things look a whole lot differently. We are getting the results of 25 years of bad management,......not just the last 5 or 6. The last 5 or 6 may have just been the nails in the coffin,..but we were chopping away at it for alot of years and our overabundant herd was so strong that it wasn't as noticeable as it is now,... It's not to late to do something about it,....I've been trying my butt off,...creating habitat, creating food, and lessening the pressure on thousands of acres,..but all that stuff is easy and worldly,...but again I ask you ,...how is the best way to educate our fellow hunters??? This is not about trophy hunting,...and the antler restrictions are not about trophy hunting,................... Pat

Be careful with pumping the corn "only" to them through the winter,...you are doing them more harm than good. Pat

Great job,....that's a good one for sure. Chasing those 2,3 and 4 year olds will humble you real quick. Way to stick with it. Pat

8% of your hunt cost.

No need to call any more witness's your honor. Pat

OOOOOOOOOOkaaaayyyyyy. That's kinda the response I thought I would get. Pat

O.K.,,,,with out trying to crucify Gary Alt and the rest of the game commission,...lets address the real problem,....and that is the PA HUnter Mentality,..always blaming it on the other guy,..and the "i gotta get my buck" attitude is what the problem is,....nobody is forcing guys to hunt and harvest they way they do,...they do it by themselves,..it's so much easier just to blame someone else,..HOW about the hunters taking some responsibility,...but NO that would make to much sense. I've worked with different management programs all over the country and, The first part of any and I said ANY proper management program is RATIO,...is PA's ratio better now than it was,....it sounds to me if you are seeing so many spikes on the "strut10" ranch,....you need to do something about proper birthing times,....this is exactly the opposite of what most PA hunters are saying though,........ ...Yes,..numbers are drastically low, and times have changed along with alot of things like,...pressure, private land, longer seasons, bag limits, antler restrictions and so many other things that are to numerous to mention,...but if the PA hunters will open their eyes and unite and quit crying all the time,...something may happen for the better,....REMEMBER, we are the FINAL judges,...we are the ones who make the decisions that matter,.......TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY. rs

Guys,....I worked there for two years back in the late 90's. It was definitley a different time then,....I still hunt Pike county, but man has it changed over the last 13 years,....it is very overmarketed now,..overhunted,..and it is quickly becoming the 125 inch capital of the world,...don't let all of the marketing fool you,....times have changed and Pike county has changed drastically,...and not for the better.:( RS
