"As for law suits and the stories about how hunters are dropping out of the sport I suspect that is just a bunch of hype that is only half true to start with."

According to US FISH AND WILDLIFE the decline nationwide in hunter numbers from 2001 to 2006 was 4%. According to our fine PaGame commissions license sales numbers in that same period, our decline was 10%. Nuff said.

"Other then the law suit and that is being brought forward by a bunch of nincompoops that have never been anything but a bunch of rebels and radicals that have continuously refused to learn anything about deer or the way nature really works."

Seems to me, if you count everyone unhappy with pgcs irresponsible management, the huge majority, I dont think the mainstream could be considered rebels, radicals or anything else. As for thelawsuit, all I see is one sportsmens organization being proactive and doingone of the only things they can to counter the eco-extremist initiated and run antideer agenda.Seeing as there is no reasonable set of checks and balances to keep pgc "straight" and prevent selfserving irresponsible practices, I guess I dont have a problem with the lawsuit. Right or wrong, beats doing absolutely nothing but shutting out eyes and taking the lumps upon ourselves and the resource itself for very little reason other than petty self serving ones, catering to their eco-weiner interests and their timber connections which are quite strong among some of our current commissioners. I would strongly recommend others who see the gross misconduct on pgcs part to contact our legislators and let them know this. This is the effective and only course of action which IS meaningful. The legislators represent the people. Pgc represents themselves and whatever interests the sitting board of commissioners has at a particular moment in time. At some points in history, this was hunters and hunting. Currently it is timber and eco-fools/extremists.
