"Why should people believe anything you have to say over the word of the trained professionals?"
When the "paid professionals" are of dubious intent,they are affiliated with VERY unfriendly to the hunter"entitities",and they have been proven to have lied all along, and just about every claim theyve made has beenproven false byTHEYRE OWN DATA... I think a betterquestion would be why shouldwe believeanything at all from them?
"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?"
I dont think the cure for cancer is quite as simple as the cure for what has driven our deer herd into the ground. I promise though, if I see them attempting to worsen the problem of cancer by spreading it more,we'll make mention of our lack of support for them!
"You SIR, in my honest opinion are nothing more then a fraud and a flim-flam artist"
Directed at Dr. Alt?
"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?"
None are convinced. You point to a few complete extremist clowns that have other agendas. There is not a state in the nation that has gone to the rediculous slaughterextent Pa has, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has biologists. So who is wrong? Some of the best biologists in the country that are not from Pa? Or Pa's that were hand selected by extreme conservation oriented biodiversity seeking commissioners?
"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?"
How would they lose? They are an independent agency and basically untouchable.That is a huge problem initself an needs to be addressed.
"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"
They say they are breeding at same rates they were before, in the same time frame and carrying just as many fawns. What more do you need them to tell you? Do they need to learn to speak english and tell you that you are full of beans?
"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? "
Which is better A handful of screwballs vs. trained professionals with a very anti-deer, terrible for our sport agenda? Id say those scales are balanced fairly evenly brother.
"Will things improve in the future? "
No. No reason for them to feel any differently in the future as long as pgc is run by the same types that it has been for the last several years. Unless you meant better fortheir new "friends"because of even fewer deer perhaps?
