Default RE: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PA DEER AUDIT?

If the goal is to manage the herd at the biodiversity CC , then hunters will have no input and WMI supports biodiversity..

Here is what WMI has to say about hunter input.
3.) Not-withstanding the relationship between hunter's financial support and agency governance described above, the foundation of the continent's wildlife conservation programs rests on sound science. In modern times, when a super-majority of citizens do not hunt, continued support for deer management programs arises from citizen’s belief that such programs result in sustainable harvests which are designed to obtain specific population goals that are complementary to societal goals.

So they are saying the herd should be managed for societal goals and not the goals of the hunters.
