"who refuse to realize that they are a very small part of Pa's population yet want complete control over deer numbers. "
actually you are wrong. Only ones Ive heard that spew that over and over is pgc and I can show you the direct quote from the audubon site where it originated.
If you take into account we as hunters, plus all those who SUPPORT US our families and friends who DO NOT hunt... Doing that multiplies our 900,000 plus GREATLY. Then toss out the many others who couldnt care less one way or the other....
Then what are you left with? A tiny minority who wanted and gotfew deer.
