Interestingly enough, many non residents voiced their approval of the new proposed regulations. Laugh all you want, my hunch is a very vocal group of resident hunters and non hunting resident landowners will have their say at the late spring season setting meetings. As for me, I could care less. I don’t rely on the 2 day a year “ hunter “ to move a deer to me. In 3 years I’ll be retired anyway, can hunt whenever. What will jerk my chain, however, is if the season gets shortened because of “ increased pressure weekends”, according to a PGC employee. Not gonna make everyone happy. It surely not a decision based on the resource. Surely shouldn’t be a decision based on non resident wishes. And most certainly shouldn’t be a decision based on out of state lobbying groups, yet all were given a voice at the preliminary hearing.
