This deerprogram audits validity, even though it has yet to begin, has been a subject for debate here in recent weeks. The May 22 issue of PA outdoor news contains some interesting quotes from none other than Seve Mohr, president of the USP.
From PA outdoor news May 22, 2009, Front page article titled
At last, deer audit slated:
Mohr Contends that Unified wants "to get the factson the table" about deer management and believes the audit will help. He expressed confidence that WMI will not defend the commission as some Unified members have claimed.
"WMI has a national reputation to uphold, and I can't see that they would jeopardize that reputation by reporting something that is not true"
"We are going to expect WMI to come up with the documented facts. Our lawsuit can proceed at the same time as the audit -they are two totally different things"
Personally, I still contend that endorsing or condemning the audit before it happens is foolish at bestbut I also thought these quotes coming from the USP prez were kind of interesting when one considers all the hand wringing over the thing before its done by a vocal few here.
