The cacs are a joke put into place by an anti-deer pro-ecoextremist pgc.

It was simply one more nearlyinsurmountablehurdle for hunters to bang their heads off of. Put into place to effectively prevent any real increases to our deer herd.

Considering how it was structured, it pretty much highlights the current pgc/hunter relations....Nonexistant.

First they keep hunters voice on the committee to a minimum.

Then, and more importantly, They were set up so its near impossble for increase and EXTREMELY EASY to prevent it. No matter how many people are actually on the cac or how many people they represent all it takes is TWO to say no increase and there automatically will be NONE...No ands ifs or buts.

To illustrate clearly, if there were only 12 ecoweiners in the entire wmu and 2 of them bothered to show up every five yearsfor the cac to say "kill the deer", they could very easily prevent ANY herd growth for the next 30 years, regardless of any habitat conditions or anything else.

On the other hand, if 8 out of 10 wanted herd increase, thanks to pgcs antideer forethought in structuring, its just too darn bad for the 8! [8D]

No democracy. No majority rule. No reasonable percentage rule. Just kill those deer, and when youre done, kill some more. When the anti-deer structured cac is added to all the other "stops" pgc has implemented, its easy to see, we aint gonna willingly EVER be given a reasonable herd increase period.

Thats why we need change and a completely overhauled management agency. Solution: Write ourlegislators and tell them to NOT SUPPORT the license fee increase, and tell them you DO NOT SUPPORT our current deer plan sham. Many others have already and so far its working. Just a matter of time, the legislators "staying the course" and hope that the Marcellus cash pgc gets from"our" gamelesslands is at rock bottomminimum.
