"I think 90% of all our issues could be solved by smaller WMU's each being managed seperately by the habitat and herd. Counties arent the solution either. Counties are man made units that dont consider habiata differences at all. Besides, roads and streams make much better boundaries."

I agree completely. Id also offer that all one need do is look a a road map of each wmu, and its easy to see there are nearly endless variations on how things could be divided up. Throw in streams rivers etc. as well, and you have even more options.

"The PGC is against smaller WMU's but I suspect funds are the big problem."

Theyve mentioned "other" reasons. With money, those "other" reasons arent gonna magically go away. Pgc know they will need money sooner or later. They also know that SPeaking of the near future possibility of things hunters would like to see, like smaller wmus would have been to their advantage IF it would even be considered that is. But they say exactly the opposite.

"Managing by smaller WMU's is going to take a lot more work by people that aint gonna come cheap. How can we blame the PGC for avoiding a management plan that will be way more expensive when they have to jump through hoops and beg for an extra 5-10 bucks every ten years or so?"

They arent mismanaging because we wont give them money. We wont give them money because we believe they are mismanaging. BIG difference. There is NO indication pgc is gonna make any change with fee increase. In fact they continue to say the exact opposite. We have been given nor promised any reasonable herd increase via allocation cuts that would make any diff, we've been offered NO smaller wmus, we've been offered NOTHING but their support for birth control testing and speaking far less than "friendly" about us at every opportunity. Including currently being called a "headache" and basically referred to as unreasonable problem "special interest" on their website.

And you want to throw money at them? Not being a wise arse, but they DO have a donation taking link. You want to, use it, go for it. I wouldnt blame you one bit for sticking up for what you believe in, thats an option you have. But there is absolutely no reason why everyone esle should be forced to do so with current ongoing situation and unacceptably low hunter satisfaction. Pgc gets as much funding overall as any state in the nation that im aware of and there is no reason why they should be crying poor mouth and to top it off, managing so horrendously. Btw it would NOT take "tons" more staff to go with smaller wmus. A bit more work overall, but nothing significant. Theyd still have the same job to do, just going about it a bit differently. You are still speaking of the same size land mass etc. Other states do it with less funding than we have. Just a matter of deciding to do it.
