Oddly enough, in their response to PGC's objections to the suit, USP's attorney admitted they had never actually asked for anything.
Didn't the USP request that the courts order that doe season be closed?
As for the USP and the lawsuits...I think the money spent by the PGC to defend itself would be better spent on habitat management or the mentoring programs so that we have future hunters to fund the agency. I would hope that the USP would even agree with that.
I would agree that there could be better uses for the money, but there is no guarantee that the money would be used for projects that promote hunting , rather than bat studies or introducing fishers.
Has anyone heard anything about the status of the proposed audit? Have the RFP's been finalized and released?
