PA DEER MANAGEMENT SEARCH ON YAHOO.

Was just thinking about looking through some things about pa deer management, maybe to get a few laughs, or see if anything new has been posted etc...

Typing in the keywords "PA DEER MANAGEMENT" on google can only leave one shaking their head and snickering. Cant help but laugh. I type in other states Plus deer management as keywords regularly and get lots of interesting links etc....

There is much discussion about the low level of hunter satisfaction here and has been for years on many other Pa message boards, so it probably comes as no surprise to most.

First page search results.
1. Link titled "DIRTY LITTLE SECRET BEHIND PA DEER MANAGEMENT". From some womens sportsmen group who apparently think the deer plan is attrocious and a sham and point to audubon societies very inappropriate lead role in it.

2. DCNR complaining about deer as always.
3. The 2005 AUDUBON SOCIETY DEER REPORT/ANTIDEER report. SOme of the biggest contributors to our deer program, and its no wonder its "nonhunter" friendly.
4. Robert Fryes "DEER WARS" book about Pas failed (my assessment) deer plan and hunter outrage. Little hint; its not titled "deer wars" because everyone loves the game commission deer plan. lol
5. Pa game commission site.
6. Pa deer.net giving their pgc supporting position statement on hunter discontent with deer program. "the deer management program has been underfire by numerous sportsmen throughout the state."
7.Ex-pgc deer teamsman/dcnr consultant and audubon nut Shissler giving his evalutation/damage control because of all the dissent and pgc not getting their fee increase.
8. QDMA.
9. Shissler again.

And that all folks. Quite a line-up eh? Someone wanting to learn about pa deer management learns quickly that all is not hunky-dory in the keystone state. [:'(]
