Even rank amateur could present a good case against the PGC's plan, but I am not sure the USP will present the case based on PGC data and if they don't the may look pretty silly.
Already starting the damage control eh? Probably a good strategy considering the flimsiness of the whole thing
Lets make a little list of what each side has.....
USP
No science
their opinions
weak membership numbers
A grass roots group from a very smal field that has
predicted the demise of the herd for decades
doe harvests for decades
Jim Slinsky (lol)
Newsweek and Lily Huang (lol)
The PGC has
Professional wildlifebiologists
The facts
Credible methodology supported by game agencies across the US
Support of every major hunting publication across the US
A majority of hunters who know it's not perfect but agree that game should be managed by the professionals
Gee I wonder who's gonna win
BTB, THE majority of hunters i know are not in favor of the HR in clinton county.
very few support the PGC in this.
this is ANOTHER reason our club membership on HUNTERSwent from 2500 to 900.
our club backed the PGC/DCNR because they recieved 100,000 diollars from the DCNR.
THEN in came the HIKERS.
then the DCNR said to club.SPROUL YOU CANT USE MONEY FOR CLUB TO FEED DEER OR HABITAT,ITS TO BE USED FOR HIKING TRAILS
.
WELL, there went 2,050 huntingmembers
