"The mouthy minority has beenwhining about a percieved lack of deer since the first bonus tag rolled off the presses in the 80's just as they do now."

I agree to a point. TheyWERE the mouthy minority. Now they're the pi$$3d off majority. Thats a fact. There comes a time when the grumbling is no longer the norm by the "unpleasable" few. We passed that point long ago. The majority doesnt support hr as is. The majority doesnt trust pgc currently.

You speak of the "complainers" of yesteryear, yet forget we also had the RADICAL EXTREMIST nincompoops too. The ones who preached that deer were the devil himself and that they were destroying the forests just a few years after they were reintroduced!!! (LOL) Then let us not forget the other idiot that got booted from the commission for his extremist views....The hero of the anti-deer movement...Latham. (LOL)[:'(] Well our current pgc needs to pull a "modern day Latham" and clean the extremist idiots from our agency.

"Heck, I even remeber seeing the fanatics tacking up "no doe hunting" signs in the 60's. The lack of deer reason is no more relevant than it'sever been and no more significant statistically."

Sure it is. Its much more relevant. Hunters have experience higher deer densities andnow know there are no reasonswhy we have tohold the herd to the extremes its been taken, other than to cater to audubon society and "other" interests. Also, seeing as there are more things competing for ones time, especially youths, its more important thanever to provide aquality experience. Not gonna happen with rock bottom numbers and even worse, not gonna happenwhen theirdad quit 3 years before . (LOL)

"Your opinion. That's all. You havezero proof. Shouting it over and over is not proof."

Facts are facts. You dont have to like them. HR has reduced our numbers. If one person quit due to hr, it reduced our numbers! And it reduced our numbers a helluva lot more than ONE! (LOL) Soon as the clowns at the ecoextremeist commission realize that, or get the house cleaned out and the new commissioners ADMIT the problems, they cannot be solved.
