"Actually the content of the deer chronicle reference to deer contraception was all oriented toward it NOT being a viable method of controlling the herd. The PGC position was exactly what it should have been."

Not even close. They shouldnt have a thing to do with this "antihunting" issue. Period. They didnt say its not a viable yet limited option. They support continuing on with it until it is. If they simply werent against it and thats bad enough. The fact they support it is even worse. Nowhere did i say anything about it being a viable option for controlling the statewide herd, nor is it what was insinuated as the pgc position. It doesnt have to be to be unacceptable. Testing is being supported by pgc. Thats enough in itself. Its 100% unnecessary and from a hunter standpoint 1000% counter productive. Wether you fear its implementation in the future only on a given scale is irrelavent. This shows, once again, how very hunter non-friendly pgc has become. First partnering with audubon (and still are #1 sons) then hsus, now this?

"To think that anti hunting forces arent waiting and salivating for deer contraception to become more cost and labor efficient is to bury ones head in the sand."

I agree. And for pgc to support and facilitate that is absurd imho.

"Rest assured that once it is made more cost and labor efficient, the antis will be screaming to the legislator for it."

And as usual, theyd be ignored. That is, unless they have firm backing making their goals "legit".

" We'll be safe as long as the nonhunting public stills views us as the best tool for controlling deer but if that changes we are toast!! Just another reason we DONT want politicians involved any deeper than they are now our wildlife managemnent and we need to absolutely step up and pay our darn bills and not let any outside money come in to wildlife management. "

The politicians arent the ones who spoke of supporting in state testing of deer birth control. They also arent the ones who petitioned along side sarah speed of hsus previously. They also arent the ones who are running a very hunter nonfriendly deer program with no input from hunters. Sorry but I dont trust them, and they sure as hell are giving me plenty of good reasons not to! Political "check and balance" is absolutely crucial at this point in time. Unfortunately.

More money to encourage this current crew to continue these things??? Why dont we just pay them triple to bring in Peta and really take care of our wildlife management! I hear they have biologists on staff. They're professionals Theyd never sell us out.
