"First of all the WMU are designed, and laid out, to work for nearly all of the hunted wildlife species not just deer. Therefore, they are set up by habitat types, land ownership (public verse private) soil types, population centers and more are all taken into consideration. "

No reason to believe other species wouldnt benefit from smaller management units as well.

"Now with that said smaller management units would make for better management provided there was enough wildlife provided data to make wise scientifically supported management. The professionals simply have to have enough scientifically supported data because everything has to be supported with sound data in today’s world."

They didnt have one shred of scientific datain regards to exactly what needed done etc. before jumping feet first into the whole deer program nonsense in the first place, so dont try and tell us tweaking aint possible now!!!! If the current system exactly as is isnt conducive to smaller wmus....CHANGE THE &*^% system! It works in many other states!!!

We dont need to hear lame excuses. There are none valid. Pgc wants no change. They want widescale blanket reduction and thats b.s.


"I do believe that in time, provided sufficient scientifically sound deer data can be obtained, there will be deer management sub-units within some of the present wildlife management units. "

We dont need a handful of"subunits", (which you are only guessing at anyway and the exact opposite has been stated by ROsenberry who want the large wmus) we need large scale RESTRUCTURE!! SMALLER UNITS. There is no reason not to. It would be an incredible outreach from pgc to the hunters of the state, and better management as well.
