Pgc wants us to believe every farmer wants less deer, every home owner wants less deer, every timberman wants less deer and over half the hunters want less deer. Guess thats why they have been sued, petitioned relentlessly (including by farmers and timbermen who hunt), gonna be audited, and cannot get a dime increase thanks to government intervention on our behalf.

Cant support their fatally flawed program and extreme herd reduction with the data and facts, so have to go the "human conflict route". Problem is,here, even by pgcs own assessment a few years ago on the annual report, the human conflict was listed as "LOW". And to my personal knowledge, always was... Yet the herd is still being "beaten" by obscene tag numbers previously and ever since.

Like I said, farmers who do want fewer deer have options. IF they dont want 35-40 dpsm, thats fine. Dmap, redtags,and the new shoot'em up legislation they have recently been given will effectively prevent that condition on their square milage, and probably a few of the surrounding to boot. Farmers who want fewer deer own very tiny percentage of this state, and not an acceptable excuse to hold tens of thousands of square miles far below cc.
