wco told me about grant money,he is on here, i forgot his intials,i think like rwj or something.
next, i was with SENATOR,yes, i do have that influence but not as much now.
he is big insurance senator too,he backs them and his family is in it bigtime too.
he has broughtthat up many times behind closed door meetings in harrisburg.
my local state farm agent told me many times that state farm was pushing to have deer reduced in pa.
he hunts too and ALSO WANTED them kiled off.
he talked just like the DCNR boys do about deer.
you cant blame insurance co. for doing what they can to deer.
with all the FRAUD info that is given them,over 50% of wrecks that say they MISSED a deer ,never did.
they were speeding,fixing eye lases,cell phones,drunk,yelling at kids,falling asleep.
of course, you could say because you were in the insurance business, i am wrong but i feel the deer get blamed for too many accidents that they did not happen.
Sproul, you do your best to treat people with whom you disgreewith respect so I'm saying this with all due respect but that is absolutely not true. You are either telling stories or your being lied to.

Please name him. I challenge you and say that no senator ever lobbied against deerclaims on behalf of any insurance company EVER

Sorry Sproul I'm calling BS again. I guarantee that you cant name him either here publicly or to me personally via PM because there's no reason for an agent to have a problem with deer claims. deer claims= higher premiums. Here's a news flash for ya...Agents get paid a percentage of premiums so bigger premiums make the agent more money too!

Yep, it happens. I even know of an unscrupulous agent who alledgedly told a customer (his buddy)who was drunk and hit a tree to find a deer hide and drag it over the jagged edges of the damaged area to leave deer hair for the adjuster. But that doesnt change the fact that the Ins companies have that all figured out and the simple fact is that the more claims of any kind across a state or across a rating territory that they can analyze and predict will make them money.
When you win at the casino, you didn't beat the house. The house won as always because it took a slice of the money from the losers before paying the rest of it back out to you. Insurance companies make their money much the same way.

Yep, I spent 30 years at it and I'm saying you're 100% wrong on this one. No grey area here. The insurance companies do have powerful lobbies butthey simply don't try to change something that consistently makes them money. I worked with dozens of car insurance companies over the years and not one ever said boo about deer or deer numbers even here in good ol PA which has been
number one for deer claims for a long time.
What happens behind closed doors is that they're quietly happy we have so many deer claims. It's simply a cash cow for them.
Oh and for the record, I worked in the industry but I will be the first to tell you I have no love for that industry. There are a some very unscrupuolous insurance companies out there. Some would sell out their mother to make a buck. There are enough bad ones to make me glad I'm out of it. One of the worst, BTW,is based right here in Nortwestern PA.Their name sounds kinda likea big lake in the area
