RE: Is the P.G.C. in suicide mode?
Good topic Jim. In order with the way you listed. Deer being our number one game animal,"my opinion",will always stir controversy on how they should be managed. Putting farmers,homeowners ect. to the side for a minute.Hunters themselves will disagree on how the deer should be managed and always will. Even though I do not want to deprive anybody on how they want to enjoy the outdoors, I too think the way we brought crossbows into archery season,it should have been on a more gradual introduction.[/align]As far as the elk tag,my personal opinion,that was totally wrong. Maybe one of the other problems is us, the hunters? Just using the crossbow issue for an example. We know there was somewhere in the ballpark of 4,000 votes against crossbows. Even though that is a substantial number,it truly does not represent "ALL" of the license buying hunters. So maybe, just maybe,the game commission felt the rest of hunters didn't care way or the other? Also another factormay be within the game commission itself?[/align]There seam's to be allot of head butting as of late,amongst the commissioners themselves and even with their biologists.Is it just one or two that want to exercise their power or ego's?
