"Your open mindedness is like a breath of stale air"
Oh, Im sorry, I didnt realize i had to be open minded about being hosed for no good reason by the Pennsylvania game commission.
"There could be some insignificant adjustments to humor some of the malcontents but as we lose hunt able land to homes and autos a reasonable person understands population adjustments are needed to avoid human-deer conflict's."
Yes. and that has more than been addressed with ANY reduction we would have implemented and not an excuse for the extremes. There are also cacs that were implemented to address human conflicts and despite most of them suggesting increase or stabilization, the reductions have continued...Many wmuss had been rated as LOW HUMAN CONFLICT...by pgc themselves, PRIOR to reduction, even in a previously high deer populated wmu such as 2A. So that excuse holds no water.
"Farmers profit margins are paper thin and the other 92% of non hunting Pennsylvanians don't desire the deer "
WAAA for the poor farmer, we only cut the damn herd in half for not the tiny minority who actually farm, but those that farm AND want rock bottom deer numbers ! See posts on other threads about farmers posting land because of deer slaughter, ehd deaths etc.. Not all landowners want all the deer dead dispite the fact it makes a handy excuse for you extremist pgc supporters.....and again, the cacs were put into place, supposedly for a reason pal. LOL
They also have redtag, dmap, and farmer shoot em up laws that make it legal for them or others they appoint to shoot deer day and night....Again, no excuse for irresponsible deer management..
"in every basket mentality that some of you seem to have. "
You mean those of us who do not support getting screwed by pgc, lies manipulation, and unnecessarily low deer herd with herd levels as low as the lowest states in the nation and going lower? If thats being a basketcase, sign me up. But Id hardly call 80-90% of our ranks deer in every basket mentalities because they arent asnine enough to support the pgc/audubon fraud deer program. My views on the topic are as "middle of the road" as it gets on these issues. Pgc just isnt a beloved agency at this moment in time by any stretch of the imagination. Just ask Alt about his bullet proof vest! LMAO
BTW, the HUGE majority of hunters AND nonhunters did NOT want and beg for fewer deer.
"If you see the P.G.C. as your enemy,then maybe you are involved in the wrong fore-pleasure activities, maybe you'd be more suited to golf"
I have zero interest in golf, and you have a better chance of quitting hunting than it do.
But Im sure pgc would benefit us much more as golfers than they do the hunters of this state and thats a fact. No more deer pellets on the greens. Lmao.
