"The USP leadership likley knows that If they USP didtheir own research and did it using credible, independent methods, they wouldn't get theresults they want.They chose to spend their money on propaganda instead."

If they did things in a credible manner, there is no way they COULDNT find that pgcs deer plan was completely unbased in science. How muchmore research is actually necessarywhen Pgcs OWN doesnt support the program?? DECLINING reproductive rates. DECLINING embryos per doe.DECLINING percentage of adult does bred, and NO CHANGE in breeding window..

ALL of these things were supposed to bethe cornerstone of this program and all were supposed to IMPROVE. Nuff said. Failed program. Butfunny, I see no changes as were promised. It was said we would change thingsup if these predictions werentcoming true (pgc not working, but same thing). That tells me the only thing this is based on from the very beginning waslessdeer,less deer less deer. For their compadres in timber industry andtreehugging audubon society. When these types are picking our commissioners and thesitting commissioners have ties to these organizations, what else would you expect??

"Most of us are well familiar with other organizations that get theirsupport by using propagandarather than real facts."

Absolutely The Pennsylvania GameCommission comes to mind first andforemost.
