Default RE: State Harvest Reports

Back in October at thePGC's deer kill calculation open house,USP's avocational deer mgt. expert Woody Shields,challenged Dr. Rosenberry, head of the PGC deer management team, to explain why they don't "go after" those who don't send report cards in. It was explained to him, that it's not worth the effort, since many magistrates will accept as a defense, that the hunter had sent it in, but "it musta got lost in the mail".

Mr. Shields alsoclaimed to know ofsomehunters that didn't send in reports and possibly some that sent in false reports and continued to berate Dr. Rosenberry about how they could accuratelytrack deer kills with only a 40% reporting rate. Someone from PGC law enforcement then asked Mr. Shields for names, places and dates on these people he knew who had not sent in reports. I think he just babbled after that, said he didn't actually have that info. Whereupon the LE representative said, then it's just more gossip and hearsay, is it?

They ask for answers, then dismiss the answers when they get them. One of the components of their late-great lawsuit, was that the PGC will not discuss issues with them or provide data when they demand it. Why bother, when all they do is distort data and spin answers to their questions anyway?
