What is wrong with the USP filing a lawsuit is that it causes the PAGC to use resources to defend against the suit that could be used elsewhere. Also, the lawsuit is without merit, and further divides us hunters into two groups that argue against each other IMO, but don't let that stop them. Like Don Quixote, they will tilt against this windmill because they are on a great quest. You had better hope they don't get what they want, because it will surly put game management into the hands of those you seem to hate the most.

As far as wanting flowers, bugs, hiking trails, birds, and canoe trips, count me among those who also want those things. The forests of this state are not your personal playground to be managed in such a way that you can get a deer with the least possible effort. They should be managed in such a way that they are kept in an ecological balance. When one species, such as deer gets out of balance, damage is done as it was in the northcentral forests. Fixing the damage will not be pleasant if you own a cabin there or hunt there. There will be a number of years in which the population of deer will be very low until the forests recover. By the way, the population of deer crashed in the mid to late 1990's. This was before the program of herd reduction was put in place. Do you want to blame that on a program that didn't even exist then?

Real sportsmen are also conservationists. Conservationists know that nature is much more complex than you seem to realize. Do some reading and study the problems our forests face today and you might feel differently about the USP and their silly lawsuit.
