"Lets see.... every respected wildlife professional has done nothing but support the deer program."

Really? Unbiased people other than those who have actually put the plan into place? Nope sorry. Notone person on this planethas analyzed pgcs doe tag allocation and herd goals and deemed themexactly what we must have. Hasnt been done and noone would do such an extensive undertaking without being well paid to do so.THAT wasone reason the audit was ordered. An independent agency that has done whatever they like, catered to whomever they wish andanswer tonoone. Don't even try to equate reviews of stupid little details like harvesting report system etc. to thorough reviews of this deer sham plan!

"most sportsmen are happy with the results of AR while some are understandably questioning HR "

I agree. Nearly noone like hr, the extremes it has gone to for no good reasons in many areas. Especially since its based on nearly absolutely nothing.

"One lunatic fringe splinter group is suing them in between chasing ghost cougars."

Fine by me, but doesnt change the importantfacts of the matter. USP can go straight to h*** for all I care. But don'ttry to use them as an excuse to disregard real concerns and real issues involving our deer sham program.

"Seems to me the PGC has nothing much to worry about from an audit unless someone's taking home the paper clips"

Then they should grow a set, quit balling like babes, and act like a responsible wildlife management agency just like most of the others in this nation. That means responsible management practices and no "hiding" pertinent data etc. There is absolutely no reason to withhold information concerning our wildlife and wildlife management. NONE. THere is no excuse for it and its totally unacceptable. One way or another, I believe they are about to find that out even if nothing else is solved.
