This is what I found,

www.rand.org/pubs/authors/e/eveland_john_d.html

I found that too and is what I was previously referring to concerning the Rand reports.

But, I still don’t see any bio on this John Eveland and little in the Rand reports that would lead me to believe they have the qualifications to do the kind of audit that would include deer management. Perhaps they could but looking through their listing of topics I don’t see anything even remotely similar in their past reports.

Thats all I found as well. I don't wish to disparage someone whom I know very little about, but it seems fair to ask who is he?

That Street refers to him as the "bear man" and credits him with the current bear plan in PA is suspect at best for two reasons.

First, it is indeed very curioous that no one seems to knowanything of him and most of us are long enough in the tooth to remember the bear program before Alt andshould havehave at least heard the name. RSB, unless I'm wrong, you've been around somewhere close to as long as Alt was havent you? Being an employee, I would think you'd at least know of someone as qualified as Street claims him to be.

Reason two goes to Streets credibility and his obvious published agenda. He has demonstrated his agenda time and again and his bias is unquestionable.He absolutelyhas reason to want the current deer plan to come out looking badbecause he has already drawn his conclusions and made them very public.
