RE: Are we losing sight?
An excerpt from Rsbs "proof of nothing" lmao!!
"Adoption of this conceptual framework will require research that provides managers with better tools than are currently available to assess the carrying capacity of specific landscapes. Better understanding of the effective scale at which deer interact with habitats is needed, such as research underway at Huntington Forest (Matthews 1996). We also need straight forward ways to estimate the K carrying capacity of these habitats. Similarly, more effective tools for the estimation of deer density itself are also required(Healy et al. 1997). In particular, research should be designed to test systems in which K changes (or is changed by human uses, such as agricultural) on short time scales (B. P. Shissler, Nat. Resour. Consultants, Inc., Fort Hill, Pa., pers. commun.). "
BTW, for anyone not knowing....That "B.P. Shissler" is the one, the only Bryon Shissler of Audubon fame, consultant for dcnr, and somehow was permitted to take part as a member of the pgc deer team that structured our deer program! LMAO!! This is the same clown who recently spoke out and was "hyped" by the pgc damage control machine as "past CRITIC" LMFAO, of the pgc, who has found through his independent studies that pgc is the best management system in the nation! Hunters should abide by this mans word, since he is so unbiased so truthful and clearly has we hunters in mind with his assessments. LMFAO....mans suspected as a 100% ANTI-hunter...
Rsb are you for real?? You say hunters should take their money and take a flying leap, then you post BULLCHIT from Shissler as some kind of "proof" of anything?? WTF?? You some Peta crusader or something????
