"Wanna tell us where that number came from?

Same place as your "vast majority" that opposes the current DMP"

Cmon now btb. Dont you know by now to give me the benefit of a doubt because my word is GOLDEN? As you know, I was referring to the "farmers" lanse mentioned. According to usda there are an estimated 58,000 farms in Pa. There were 12,448,279 People in Pa in 2008 according to the census bureau, and that kind sir, as i said is less than ONE PERCENT.

As for the The "vast majority" not supporting the deer plan, isnt even debatable so i dont exactly feel compelled to "prove" anything in that regard. Its ridiculously common - common knowledge.


"At least when the bird posts a stat, he has some basis from which he twists things. You just pull the numbers outta your backside!"
Hardly. Im not going to call you a liar. But that IS a lie.http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0883513.html

"The point of mentioning crop damage, timber damage and even car accidents is that while hunters pay to manage them, the deer herd costs everyone a little something so only an arrogant idiot would ignore that we (deer hunters) are the useful minority and the continued existence of our sport depends on continued favorable support from the nonhunting majority."

Agree with all. But there is absolutely NO reason to believe if we dont bend over on command and accept everything and anything we are dealt and the extremes, that society will no longer support hunting!! Society didnt demand this nonsense not by a long-shot. They supported hunting when the herd was basically double in size and there is no reason why they wouldnt if the herd size were somewhere in between now and then!! Those whining about less deer will always do so even with less yet, and we shouldnt allow them to dictate management...Period. For some its pure greed and $. For others they are simply nuts. Environmentalist extremists.
