But it seems Doug that you think the hunters who question any side of the deer management policies are ignorant of the habitat problems which I'm finding isn't true in all cases.Down here the allocations have become very liberal and public land is getting hammered with the easy access.Trust me the place I'm talking about doesn't have a habitat and/or regeneration problem.The deer numbers are so low because of overharvesting.And maybe the percentage of org members we're discussing are concerned about such places where they hunt.
I've tried to make this point also ,I am one the line between 1a & 1b and the habitat isn't a problem ,car accidents are. The increase accident rate is because of more drivers not more deer,but either way the doe slaughter continues , on public land they get hit hard and more private land gets posted each year. There needs to be a happy medium some where but since neither side will give at all the fights continue.
The G.C. needs the support of hunters to survive ,and hunters need the G.C. to survive but since both sides think the others are not worth dealing with the stand off will continue
