"In my honest opinion, I think hunters should get a spanking," he said. "They're getting spoiled. This happens all over when hunters are asked to take part in wildlife management, it's not just Pennsylvania."
Mr. Hendricks said the hunting industry has done wildlife management a huge disservice by promoting the "glory" of shooting big bucks. "Buck fever" contributes to a culture that values big racks and discounts does.
"But you don't control the herd by taking out the bucks," said Mr. Hendricks, "you take the breeders out. Hunters should be mature enough to be a tool [of wildlife management] to keep the herd healthy."

I drove from Nashville to Providence about 3 weeks ago. I drove through Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsylvania and I've never seen so many dead deer in my life not to mention the ones just hanging out on the side of the road.
Many, many years ago, I was in a vw bug and hit a doe broadside in mid-leap.
My entire car was covered with fur.
