Found some of this interesting....


Of course as usual, no plans of changing anything deer-wise.

See there is talk of youth rabbit season. Yeah, thats gonna recruit "more hunters". Rabbit seasons already a billion days long as it is. lol. Just not enough days between Oct and mid February i guess? Sounds like a pressing issue, much more important than reasonable numbers of deer towards recruitment & retention to me! lol.

Bobcat proposal? I absolutely hate it. Pgc never learns from their failures i guess. Statewide blanket approach again. Here (and im sure many similar wmus) there arent alot of bobcats by any stretch of the imagination. There are a pocket here or there scattered widely throughout the wmu. This isnt a unit with "remote" areas and large tracts of unbroken forest, the potential for this very limited resource here to be grossly overexploited is probable. I support the current drawing system. If they want to permit more harvest in some areas, such as the northcentral etc. Give more permits! At the very least keep some of the "peripheral" range out of the proposal and limit the harvests there!

Last, but not least we have this : " may use its automated license system to generate postcards reminding hunters to renew their licenses, and seeking their input on hunting-related issues."

Sounds like a great idea doesnt it? And i agree it is IF its not used in a deceptive manner like they did when they asked extremely vague questions of sportsmens clubs etc previously when questions were posed in such a way as to guarantee the outcome, then tried to use it as "support" that they often point to in defense of the failed plan which very few at all support!

Also if none of the question have anything to do with what the majority of the hunters are interested in, it will be useless and nothing more but one more hollow token gesture. Id be willing to bet my left thumb that "what do you think of the level of herd reduction in your area" will not be one of the questions.
