That is about the finest example of the pot calling the kettle black that I have seen in a long time.

Just because the facts of deer management are too far beyond your level of knowledge and comprehension doesn’t mean they aren’t still the correct facts. The most knowledgeable deer management professionals in the world have reviewed and endorsed the direction of Pennsylvania’s deer management program, so just who are you to be telling people they are wrong and you, a totally untrained and unqualified person, knows more then they do?

Why should people believe anything you have to say over the word of the trained professionals? Why don’t you work on correcting the problems within the medical profession and do something even more useful, like saving lives, since you obviously know so much more then highly educated and trained professionals?

You SIR, in my honest opinion are nothing more then a fraud and a flim-flam artist set on a mission to destroy the deer management program simply because of the misguided agenda of a handful of radicals that formed their own cult because they couldn’t have their way within the sportsmen clubs where their votes couldn’t overcome those votes from more logical and rational people. You and your ilk have caused more harm to hunting in this state then any anti-hunting group ever has. The real problem now is that even though your cult is falling apart you still aren’t wise enough to give up your misguided promotion of their agenda.

Now, I have to ask any logical thinking person just what reason would the Game Commission have for not doing what the professionals are fully convinced to be the best possible direction for the long term management of our deer herds? The answer is very simple they would have nothing to gain and everything to lose, so what makes anyone think they are doing the wrong thing? It is the deer themselves, combined with measuring their food supply, that are providing the direction of the deer management program. Doesn’t it make more sense to put your trust in the deer and the trained professionals that monitor the data the deer provide then to listen to a handful of screw-balls that have absolutely no training in deer management or even any type of wildlife or resource management?

Are there fewer deer? Yes. Are there still good huntable populations of deer in all management units? Yes. Will things improve in the future? Yes, but only if you allow the professionals to fix the real problems instead of listening to the screw-balls trying to tear the deer management program apart because they have no idea what the real deer management problems and issues are.
