>It appears Shissler is saying he knows more than all of the deer managers across the entire US

He is saying no such thing.

Deer managers(educated, trained, wildlife biologists) don't get to make management decisions in state agencies. They advise political appointees like Board of Commission members in PA who have the first and only say when it comes to deer hunting regs.


I had a dream and in this dream
Deer biologists run a number by a friendly BOC member of the number of tags they think is biologically sound. This member shops that number around to see what the others are willing to accept. In the end the biologists are given a number a bunch lower than they want to present at the April meeting which enough members vote for.


Ever wonder why every year this never happens ---- the head deer biologist
says at the April meetin "we would like 1.3 million doe tags" and the BOC hudles up and say "no, we will only grant 1 million tags".

Thought it might happen during the Alt era but if not then I would say never.


You know if the USP lawsuit was to go forward we might just get to see what the deer biologists really think since after all they would be under oath and have to tell
the court exactly what they think.
