Default RE: Lawsuit challenges policies on PA deer

I don't expect much to come out of this lawsuit.Having said that Alt has done alot of damage to our sport with his recent anti hunting statements.
I really believe the PGC still supports hunting and tries to give us better oppertunities.But there's political issues right now that make that job tough.
Let's face it,deer hunting is the bread and butter of our sport.Take it away or make the quality of deer hunting that bad and we're going to lose alot of license holders in the long run.The problem of the over harvest of deer isn't just confined to PA either.Many other states are having this same battle.
No I am not a biologist but I do have eyes and my own mind.Just because a bird watcher's org or the Ed Rendell run DCNR says something doesn't mean I'm going to roll over and accept it when my eyes show me otherwise.The forest I've been hunting for years is showing me you can have regen with a quality huntable deer herd.Was is that?Well it's not 10 dpsm with the dcnr saying more needs to be reduced!It's pretty bad when a common hunter like myself and others I talked to in our area can see the forest needs opened up for regen.This hot topic of deer reduction goes deeper then just saving the forest.I'm hoping to find time on labor day weekend to post some pics and prove my point.
