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.
Thank you for admitting that your agenda is about what
you want and
not about what is scientifically sound as you have claimed over and over while you've presented your distortions. In all of your arguements over the past years you have tried to create your own "science" to fit your agenda. You are now obviously afraid that objective "science" will not fit your agenda. That agenda has simply been to produce the maximum possible sustained number of deer without regard to the long term effects on the habitat and on other wildlife and even on the health and survival chances of the deer themselves.
We all need to remember that the forest industry "tolerates" us because they need us to help control the deer. They own or control much of the land available for us to hunt. Even on non PGC owned public ground, the value of the timber crop is what keeps it available for hunters. We represent less than 10% of that public. If we don't cooperate and help keep the deer under control to the point that the desirable timbercan regenerate, they will eventually find a way to control the deer without us and we hunterscould well find ourselves shutout of the vast property holdings to which we currently enjoy free and easy access.
