Kind of a Catch-22 situation fellas. No matter what state you are in, polls, asking around, etc. generally reveal the startling finding that the majority of deer hunters are gonna express displeasure with any policies that result in less chance of them bagging a deer with relative ease. No duh. Yet these are the same people who seem to want to have a primary voice in management decisions. Factor in (as Bawa stated) that some of the most vocal critics are rarely able to carry a calm rational discussion of the issue without screaming conspiracy and/or engaging in ad hominem attacks, and there shouldnt be any surprise to someone who looks at it from an objective perspective that the voices of opposition don't carry as much weight as folks in that group think that it should.
Factor in things such as the most recent studies which show that Pennsylvania is still in the top 5 in the nation for deer-auto collisions (albeit down from #1 prior to full implementation of herd reduction) and plenty of ordinary citizens just don't see what all the fuss is about in terms of lowering the deer population.
Calm down, offer some more informed and convincing arguments that don't sound selfish, don't throw tantrums like a spoiled child just because someone doesn't completely buy into your position, and consider compromise and issues of broader good, and you might actually get some changes that you view to be positive.
