These things dont happen just cuz a couple guys who cant hunt like to whine.

Huge majority of HUNTERS dont trust them or the deer plan.
Sorry but it just isnt so.
Study after study has shown that on average, when someone is satisfied, they say very little and menton it to 3 people or less. When unsatisfied, people become very vocal and tell 10+ people.
When dealing with unsolicited commentary, the complainers have to outnumber the others by better than three to one just to show a satisfaction rate of 50/50.
The whiners in PA definitely havent outnumbered the happy hunters in any sportsemns gathering places I've seen and the letters to editors statewide have been running 50/50 at best
