I have said all along that with the decline of the deputy program there would also be a decline in the protection of our resources. But, that is what many of the hunters and politicians of this state demanded, so now they will just have to live with the results of their demands.

The biggest decline in the protection of our resources was when they implemented the current DMP. Poachers could not even come close to causing the devastation to our deer herd that the PGC has caused. At this point I don't know why any hunter would choose to become a deputy to protect a resource the PGC choose to destroy.
