Wrong yourself!
A position supporting management for that considers all wildlife does not discredit them unless we're asking them for the best way to to run a deer farm.
Wrong again!!! I didn't say it would discredit WMI, I simply said it shows that the had a established bias toward managing the herd for biodiversity rather than timber production or the MSY CC. Just like QDMA has a bias for managing the herd at DDs that are double and triple the biodiversity CC in their attempt to get bigger racks.
Here is what WMI has to say about PA hunters.
Deer management in Pennsylvania lies within the interface of the three pillars
mentioned above and the PGC must address each independently and
comprehensively. Deer are a public resource and the public has the right to
understand and influence deer management goals. PA deer hunters are motivated
by their hunting experiences to influence deer management goals and feel SPECIAL
DISPENSATION because of their financial support to have their desires translated to
agency policy. And finally, the PGC must interact with the public, deer hunters and
the wild deer resource itself, only within a scientifically defendable program of
work.
