Default RE: A Crack in the "Rock?"

I wouldn't ask Ed Staback because he doesn't have a clue.I had the pleasure of listening to his nonsense last year at the Legislative/save the deer/save our job/deny the PGC a lisence increase meeting.Someone mentioned that they were trapping does in the Sproul.He looked all dumbfounded and wanted to know why they were trapping deer in that area and moving them out of there.I stood right there and heard it.Why would I want to hear the opinion of a guy on the house game and fisheries committe that was that clueless?After all it was a highly publicised study and he was totaly uninformed.

The PGC is not managing our game lands for timber.I see what they do on the game lands and it's far from a commercial timber operation.

You don't think law-enforcement is necessary?I know of areas that had more deer poached than were legally harvested this year.I got a call at work last friday about an incident that happened during broad daylight.Our WCO has a huge area and there's no way he can be everywhere at once.Poaching is actually a free for all and it's very easy to get away with.Anyone concerned about low deer numbers should be willing to back a lisence increase because that has a direct bearing on the number of deer out there.

I've never done body work on any of my insured vehicles but I have helped my customers do repairs on their house when the damage was below their deductible.I've actually done that quite a few times and I've helped people out after catostrophic events like fires and bad windstorms.So yes,my chainsaw gets fired up to help the PGC and to help out my customers.Pretty nice guy,huh?

I agree 100% that at least 40% of the hunters are disappointed.Unfortunately,like many on here that just expect out game lands to be clearcut,they don't undertand the issues or the relationship that deer play with the habitat.Perhaps the PGC could do a better job educating the hunters but that would still require a proactive approach on the hunter's part.I see it every year,the naysayers and slfish politicians refuse to show up to see the facts.
