If not, move on!
I classify PA hunters into 2 groups: hunters and sportsman. I consider my brother a sportsman and myself a hunter. You guys are starting to sound alot like sportsman. How many days a year do you find yourself hunting in subzero whether-not many- well, you may be a sportsman; Do you hunt in the rain and duing downpurs how about heavy snow conditions, if not, you may be a sportsman; do you hunt all day and not see a single deer- well, you may be a sportsman; do you think the game commission is being directed by paper and insurance companies, well-you may be a sportsman; do you think there are really no deer in the woods?; you may be a sportsman; if you only hunt deer during riffle/shotgun season, you may be a sportsman; do you go hunt in the woods to relax and only enjoy the scenery-you may be a sportsman, do you only hunt with a buddy or a group-you may be a sportsman.
I'm just saying, you folks say there are no deer in the woods, I'm saying there is. One of us is wrong. Maybe it's perspective, or maybe not.
