RE: PA DEER AUDIT UPDATE.....
The one thing that I believe would make the audit more credible is if WMI solicited questions that hunters would like the audit to address. If they just determine if the current plan is scientifically sound, the audit will resolve nothing and we will be back at square one. For ,example, as yet no one has been able to explain how forest health is used to determine the number of doe tags that are issued. Just look at the wide range in regeneration in the 17 WMUs where the PGC wanted to keep the herd stable in 2008 and see if you can see any reason why the PGC would want to keep the herd stable in all those WMUs when the goal of the plan was to improve forest health.
