Are you ready to be humbled?OK then,here you go.Here are exerpts from an article in Pa outdoor news dated Jan 15,2009.I'd provide a link but I don't know how.the article is titled.Insurance group noted sharp decline in the state's deer herd.

The company(Erie) recorded 14000 deer claims in Pa in 2007,according to Darrin Birtciel,a rate analyst with erie.

Biirtciel,is aware of the controversy surrouning deer management in Pa.He heard the rumors about car insurance companies somehow colluding with the PGC to decrease numbers.

Those rumors are unfounded,explaining that the insur companies simply calculate the auto insurance claims and the projected payout and them calculate the rates to make a profit.

Obviously we want to reduce the number of accidents involving deer but we have no contacts with the game commission about deer.

We ttry to get information out to warn policyholders.

He is puzzled aboit why sportsmen think the PGC is cooperating with insur companies to lower deer numbers,or even why the PGC wants to eliminate deer.

It's not like the commission calls a board meeting and all the insurance company executives show up to reduce deer numbers.that just doesn't happen and I don't think it ever has.

How's that humble pie taste?
