RE: Do hunters know best?
In my opinion - most of the hunters in PA aren't even qualified to be carrying the weapons that they're carrying - andpose not only a danger to themselves, but those around them, while they'rerunning amuk in the wilderness trying to kill things.
By logical extension, these people most assuredly have no business having any input in the research/field study/legislation end of things. Leave any and all work requiring expertise - to the trained experts in the field.
If I had my way, we'd see hunting take a step away from being a hobby that seemingly "anyone" can take up - and move in the direction ofgranting licensure to onlyqualified, educated, responsible individuals.
But since this is a money game - that will never happen... so... It is what it is.
