What needs to be addressed is how to stop the hemoraging of hunters
In my opinion some of the problems stem from groups like the USP spouting ignorance on public hunting forums. Here's an example of what your rantings could have created.
can tell you one thing after readin all the negative hype about PA Deer hunting in the last couple years I wouldn't waste a nickel up there on a hunting lisc. You guys have completely turned me and probably many other potential hunters away from PA. Thats a shame
Your USP continually portrays the PGC as a bunch of incompetent whatevers. Maybe we should be looking in the mirror and seeing that maybe the hunters are the ones to blame for most of the problems. Maybe we didn't pay attention for too long and now were panicing a little bit. Everyone running around pointing fingers trying to blame someone else.
